Here is a pic of my first FbGl project ive attempted. Its very strong and sturdy. Just need to sand get some body filler on there, sand, rinse, and repeat until is smooth and flush. Was a definite pain in the ass to get both sides "even" but after a Sunday in the garage I'm happy with the progress so far.
Here's an update. Filled in the gap where the seam is on the tank at the seat to make everything smooth and flush. I'm happy with how its turned out last little bit of sanding to finish tonight then ill be good for primer and paint this weekend
Now this was my first go with fiberglass (I used to work in the epoxy flooring industry years ago so I had an idea of what i was getting into...kind of) these little tabs were a labor of love. I'd say 15-20hours (3 days after work) most of that was spent sanding, filling spraying primer to see your highspots then sanding and filling (with body glaze on your last few layers) and priming and rinse and repeat until there are no holes, high spots, valleys, or scratches.
My advice take your time, wear gloves, and just remember you can always sand it off, and if you sand too much, so can always add more glass/bondo. The stuff is pretty easy to build back up just give it a nice strong sturdy base onto the tank so the vibrations dont crack it.
I debated that but I take my seat off several times a day (I have nice storage space under the cowl) and I didn't want to run the risk of damaging one of the panels while removing or attaching the seat. The tank was plan B
Andthe other problem from going from seat to tank is wind blast. A strong gust catching that little panel with the way it flares could have ripped it off. The way it is now the wind rolls over and past the gap rather than catching any flat surfaces. Haha its a micro fairing

Haha I know. I guess I just didn't want to glass onto my fiberglass seat in case I didn't like how it looked I can always grind it off metal. Grinding fiberglass off fiberglass would be a little difficult.
