Seat cowl
Another coat of Bondo glass and I should (SHOULD) be ready for the fine tuning and then the mounts.

Almost finish. After a couple of layers of Bondo glass and sanding I put on the grey primer and it looks pretty good. It fits on the bike nice after some fine tuning with the sanding. All that's left to do are the mounts, wet sanding, primer and hopefully just painting. Not sure what color to paint it though, I was thinking either black or Titanium?

Holy crap dude, that looks great. It looks like a real pro job. You got to paint it black though. A body shop should be able to help you match the paint, although at this point I'm gonna guess that you might be able to figure that one out too.
Nice work.
Nice work.
Thanks, I don't like to paint so I am thinking of taking it to a pro, like Macco or something. I am thinking black also. I was thinking about doing it myself, it cant be that hard. If anyone has experience with painting and has some tips let me know.

Anyone wishing to try this here's a short cut. Remove your seat and make the hump out of styro-foam to your desired shape, put that on top of your seat and cover it in tin-foil and masking tape. Start fiber-glassing. I did one with the extra fiberglass I had left over and I t came out nice. All thats left to do is the filler (bondo-glass) sanding etc....It was alot faster doing it this way then doing the whole thing out of styro-foam! and the best thing is that it fits perfect like your seat does.....Wish I thought of this before!
