well I decided I am going to be trying my hands at this. I will have an undertail that will need painting, so why not work on a cowl? I am making a permanent holder in my console for my video ipods. So I am just buying extra material for this project!. I used to work at an audio shop for a few years and we did custom fab all the time, so hopefully it comes out nicely.

I think you guys have inspired me to attempt this on my F4. Has anyone ever tried to make a cowl for the banana seat of an F4???

Funny you should mention that in regards to the F4...cause I was thinking the same thing. Stairstepped seats with two distinct seats are one thing...but im not sure how one would fab a cover for a single piece seat. The big question i guess would be.....how on earth to attach it, the fiberglassing itself shouldnt be all that difficult.

My best guess to attach the cover would be to screw it into the under side of the seat. I have to get a used seat before I try anything. When I do I'll post the progress.

I got a used F4 seat for real cheap. I am just waiting for it to arrive. Once it does I will begin (attempt) to make the cover. I take pics and keep everyone updated.

I didn't know how my attempt at a rear seat cowl would turn out so I didn't take any photos of the process but I wish I would have. I have some pictures of it here.

Please excuse the "Road Rash" on the cowl. I neglected to ensure it was fastened down correctly at my last trackday and it came off the bike at about 120mph. It held up pretty well considering.
