Dang man…looking good!!! I hate doing seat covers!!

Thanks this one was minimal sewing and the old made a template.

Primer

And nope

So.

Waiting on JB weld to cure on some cracks then try again with primer to see where it needs bondo if any.

 

[Maritime]

This may or may not be the final colour but it now shows me all the places I need to fix up for the final paint and clear.

Going black tail and fender

Just did a 3D print in ABS of some replacement plugs for the cowl. 2 of these are snapped off and gone. so we printed up 3 and another tab is being drawn to print as well

 

[Maritime]

Here is one new parts glued on. Reprinting the knobs longer but first try failed.

ABS plumbing cement welds them real well.

Ha Pid. I came on tonpost this and you said it first.

I've yet needed to find 3D printed posts and such. Being near "the Tail of the Dragon", local shops discard tons of plastic parts while repairing wrecks. They cheerfully give me a sack full when I've asked.

I had a couple scrap covers in the shop but they all had the rectangular pin, not the round ones.

Tank sanded and in high build. Not much to fix. I sanded out on minor dent when I found bondo but its shallow and rust free so will refill that and fix a few small nicks etc. Will be nice and smooth.

 

[Maritime]

Pins fit, need to mount seat again to check but looks spaced about right.

 

[Maritime]

plopped seat on and the pins are good. the JB weld on the end of the seat is because the vinyl split on me. I'll smooth it and paint it black to hide it. easier than redoing the whole cover.

 

[Maritime]

We have a yes to a blue. Needs a second can for second coat as there are thin spots.

 

[pidjones]

Yes!

 

[Rider52]

Good choice. I prefer blue but seems like all my bikes end up black!

 

[Maritime]

Closer

 

[ridesolo]

Dat's purty!
