So I have an Idea of how to make a mold to make a seat cowl pretty easily and I want some feedback on what shape to make it any ideas? I want something that looks good I might make two different kinds one that looks good for the F model and one that would look good on the E model so any feed back would be apreciated

I made a detachable one (started from a bear seat pan) using the cafe racer type styling.  I like the way it came out, but it is somewhat bigger than I expected.  So if your going that way becareful about size. 

Will see if I can post a pic.

what shapes do you think would be the best for each design?

I like them a little rasied, creating a "pocket" for the seat. Similar to the way JamesG did the 89-00 race tail and my 01+ race tail, which was sort of modeled after his.

I would post a newer pic of the master on my 92 but I layed up the second half of the mold last night.
Common sense in not very common.

I actually modeled mine after the a picture i saw of JamesG's.  Just came out 'bigger'.
