Definitely put a radius around the edges, otherwise, you're going to have a hell of a time getting glass to lay down properly.
 
seat looks great. the tank is too angular. What's your plan on the tank for dealing with ethanol? vinylester? or just polyester plus a good tank coating?
 
Here in my neinorhod there is a gas station that sale gas whiteout ethanol , is more spensive like $4.12 a gallon .
 
I'd use vinyl ester, or epoxy. If you ever choose to take it out and ride it, or take it to, say, Barber, Mid-Ohio, etc, you may not be able to find a gas station with no ethanol. And, line the hell out of it.

I would't base my build plan off of the business practice of a gas station, unless I was at minimum, a co-owner of that gas station.

Looks very good.

If you don't round off your edges, though, you're going to have a tough time with it, unless you're vacuum bagging.

That seat is amazing.

Post updates when you round out the tank a little bit! I'm sure it's going to look mean.
