RE: My Custom Seat Cowl
CHU NOH - I wish I was a participant of the Gumball 3000, but last May when Gumball came to Greece I met the greek Gumball team and arranged to escort the convoy with the cars (that's why you see the camera on the tank), however a problem came up and the carsgot stuck inside the airport area- and I only 've got few pics of the bike parked with NO SuperCars..... Damn!
FITZ- I used theOEM seat of the bike, used duct tape, foam, and sanding sanding sanding, few fiberglass layers, sanding sanding sanding, bondo/filler, sanding sanding sanding, primer, sanding, and then painted....latches for cliping on the tail and here it is-it took a huge ammount of time to make it look the way it is. Thiswas the HOW TO of the prototype seat cowl.Weights only 600grams.
I've sold few on ebay and people say the best. If anyone is interested pm me I can guide you through the process or make one for you.

Looks great NIK, I just finished mine also.. check it out. Made it also out of glass.. and yes, it is very time consuming. I made a foam "solo seat", lots of carve and sand work like you said. Then dropped the foam form into plaster, and made a great negative for glass. Turned out great. Very little bondo... just to even out a few areas. Waayyy cheaper than buying one already made.

Great Work!!! Nice!! It looks like you are into fiberglassing/foam shaping. How did you manage to lock the cowl on the tail? I've used two latches, one for the lock and one for the back hole. Keep up the good work! Currently I'm building a lightweight motoGP race look bodykit for my bike
