Default something me and a buddy made for a weekend project

one of my friends managed to come up with a set of blueprints for a complete cafe racer seat setup that he wanted for his 1975 RD350 2 stroke bike, and around 3-4pm yesterday he came over and all hell broke loose with fiberglassing mayhem.

total I think was something like 16 hours in the whole piece, which came out a little rougher than I'd like it to, but I believe we can bondo the low areas and form it perfectly before its time to paint it. my buddy is the one holding the tail in the pictures. I dont think it came out too bad for being our first time fabricating in fiberglass material.

Before I even read your text, I immediately thought cafe racer.

how bout a picture that showcases its application, instead of one that makes your friend look like he's on acid and about to jump down a pudding slide in lollypop land.
