There is no mention of any ovens in the videos

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

Would be good to start a thread buddy

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 ;)
