Here is the cardboard and drywall compound plug that I made on the bike. The three depressions on the top will accommodate nuts to hold the seat pan on. The square depressions just ahead of the butt stop go down to the frame and will be supports for the back of the seat like the cafe seat previously. The depressions at the front of the plug go down to the stock seat bracket and to a tongue that goes under this bracket like the stock seat. The depressions on the side toward the back will accommodate nuts which will hold the back of the cowl with bolts through the holes in the frame that the stock fender was mounted to. The depression at the back will accommodate the back of the light

I've decided to change the tail on this bike since it no longer has the low bars on it. You can't have a cafesque tail with regular bars so I am going to make a new more suitable tail. This bike is in good original shape so I want to make any changes as sympathetic to the stock Goldwing as I can so I am going to try and incorporate the original tail light in the design. Here it is being mocked up for position fore and aft and for height. It is a big ungainly tail light so I want to get it as low as possible without it getting hit by the back tire and I don't want it hanging too far off the back of the bike
