Piece of seat. (part ii)

Jumping the gun a little with just trying to bodge the scooter seat unit to fit. So I started again.



Used masking tape and card to make a level base to the frame rails.





Then used the rear part of the scooter seat unit. I also had to raise the centre a touch to allow for wheel clearance. Taped it all up.




Covered it in ali-foil tape. The fiberglass does not stick to this so the end product can be removed with ease (he says!!??).




Then fiberglassed it. The night was starting to get on when I finished check it tomorrow may need more layers yet to give it strength.

Piece of seat.

Got a Vespa seat race seat unit for free. Cheers. You know who you are. I cut it up and then set about fiber glassin it together so it would fit. I know it looks messy. Basic idea is I have is to fiberglass more of it fill the gaps (I ran out of hardener). Strengthen the underside with some steel plate. Smooth it all back then filler and smooth more until nice and paint it....... or it could all be scrapped!

Maroubra



Sifting through some travel photos from oz. This is the view from the back garden at the first apartment we lived in. Its Maroubra, Sydney. Super good park and super surf.

440LTD Swingarm bob/chop type thing thus far.



Cut back end off. Short shocks fitted and bars. Bike is fair low now. Need to rid the mass of clocks and stick a little light on the front. Maybe shorten the front forks.
