pillion pegs .I never carry a pillion ,have no pegs so all i need is a seat cowl

Very nice. Thanks for the pics. Have you thought about converting it into a storage area?
 
Interesting project and process. But, from the photos, it ended up looking like the seat with a bump in it. Why didn't you paint it the color of the bike to make it stand out more?
 
Paint may come , it is a big cowl though unlike a sports bike .Dont
want it to look like a plastic bucket .No boubt something will change .

At the moment pillion seat still in place .
 
you and Scott really need to come visit me for a month and sort my messy stock bike out.
 
Scott's work more professional than mine buy a long way . Better get
him to do it , but thanks for the compliment .
