    Real nice! What is your normal procedure for filling fiberglass parts like that? I really like the way that turned out.

    That looks great. I really like the layout on the tank and saddle bags. I wish I were half as creative and artistic.

    Thanks. I rarely do fiberglass mods like this. I just feathered the existing glass back, made a form and laid mat, followed with cloth. Flipped the body and laid more which resulted in a thickness required for rigidity. This bike had to be done quickly to be trucked to Sturgis. The transport company damaged it and I got it back for repair. At which point the owner wanted artwok added. Over a year and the mod is not failing. There are various types of glass available like combo fabrics, stitched biaxial and others. Nice stuff, check it out.
