The seat pan is constructed the same way. Masking tape is laid down to protect the tail, then spray glue and tinfoil, then fiberglass

More spray glue and tin foil in preparation for fiberglass

It probably isn't clear what I'm up to here. I'm making a fiberglass bit that will hold the tail light and licence plate. A couple of T nuts have been Bondo Glassed onto the underside of the tail and the tail light and licence plate support are taped into place

We're getting ready to hit the road after a great day in Port Dover. We're all Harleyed out

Another Friday the 13th in Port Dover. My black '78 won't idle without stalling so I rode the new '80 1100. I rode down to Brantford with Jay, on his Yamaha dual sport, and met my brother on my ex '82 1100 and his friend Tim on his Suzuki brat. My daughters drove down with Steve's kids and met us there.
