There is no mention of any ovens in the videos

Seems to be the same as fibreglass but no filler can be used

So, the seat unit was built, which proved I can do it.

It also allowed me to look at what can be changed

I decided I want the seat to sit on top of the frame rather than hanging down over the side of it, so I built another one

This time I covered the plug in silver tape as silver foil is a bit loose

I am now playing about with some different colour schemes

Here are some photos of the build and the first go at the colours








After a lot of sanding and filling







I reckon the white stripe is too wide and the red and green stripes are too narrow





I will probably make another seat unit and paint it black with the red, white and green stripes

Then make a decision............

Well done!

If it was a bit more teardrop shaped at the rear it would be classic old style ducati but I guess that's not really the idea?

Keep on doing so well and you might be getting requests
