Well that is high praise coming from you! Thank you!
As for width, its at 220 mm at the rear of the seat, and it feels pretty comfortable for me.

That aluminum section is going to look gorgeous. I have to say I really hated the round tail light at first but it has really grown on me. Nice blend keeping the angular nature of the tank and merging to the perfectly round light.
Yeah, I'm pretty excited about cutting it. Wanting to hold off until I have all the parts designed I want to CNC cut, but might just do it soon anyway.
I guess the round light was just something I always thought I would use. If I had to be totally objective, a rectangular light would probably have been a more synchronous choice.

Hope you will arc the front of the padding to match the tank though!
Not quite following you? You mean give the top part of the padding, as it moves toward the tank, a subtle convex curve?
Yeah, (if that's what you're saying) that kind of detail would certainly change things from good to great.

Sometimes when you stretch the covering over the softer foam it will compress and reveal the edge of the hard base under it. Makes a dreadful wear point too.
Great advice! Thank you! I totally get what you're saying. DONE!

I also cover seats first with car headliner to help with this sort of thing.
Right! Yeah I remember my dad doing stuff like that. I had forgotten about this. Again - Awesome! Great advice! On my shopping list.

Also hoping you will paint your new bodywork rather than cover it - I think the bodywork should not be diminished by a cover but amplified with new paint! My $.02 - I am sure it will be great either way!
Oh I hate you for that!
Man had a look at it, and having paint on that shape will make it pop so nicely.
Having to buy more paint, and twist my buddy Mario's arm to paint it for me (he painted the tank, fender and side covers for me - about 3 year ago I think) would take a lot of time and effort.
It *would* look better. You're totally right. But I just don't think I'm gonna go down that route for the above reasons.
I'm also always going to think about that every time I look at it! Ha Ha.
Thanks for taking the time to give me some great feedback. Its hugely appreciated.
