I need to sleep, but could keep watching this till the final one..lol
The reason the glass fibre goes nice and soft, is the matting is held together with a binder, which dissolves with the resin.
looking forward to seeing the end result but enjoying the learning process as well and many thanks for introducing my self to some excellent music .
Thanks Mike, you're very kind... not sure if I posted a link for this one under the video, but if not, and you want a link to the music, just let me know !
yep link was there many thanks
Del if you use alloy tbe or pvc for that matter it could be storage space for a tool roll. Remember it is not so much what you use as the supports you glass in but the curved or box section of the glass creates that gives the rigigity. Ive seen it done with kitcher paper roll centre tubes for moulds which take a far greater beating than the finished product ever will. I agree woth some other comments that it looks mighty snug. But hey fibreglass is a forgiving medium easy enough to cut and lengthen if needed.
Keep up the good work.😀👍👍

Hi Bob, thanks mate... really appreciate your insight, that's all great information... enjoying learning something new... thanks for watching, much appreciated!
Should have made the bracing and mounting frame first far easier and that's well tight your jeans were dragging on the tank, once you get on in leathers you will need prizing off the seat with a tyre lever.
You might be right mate, but it sure made me give up doughnuts lol !
Looking awesome so far! I can't wait to see how this turns out, but I can already see it's going to be amazing. Job well done! I look forward to seeing more...
Thank you my friend, that's very kind... really appreciate your faith in it, I can't always say I have faith in myself, but I guess I can just keep doing it till I'm happy with it aye?!
u r amazing dud thanks
You're welcome!
love from israel god bless you !
Looking good youth . Can't wait to see it finished
Met a cool cat from the UK whilst on vacation Elton Latter, used to work at EMI years back, we talked about the brilliant British Invasion music, Norton's and Bonneville's and your awesome project / skills / channel ...
Oh my goodness... that's amazing, thanks so much Troubs... it's wonderful to reach out to people around the world !
Coming along nicely Del, looking forward to seeing finished seat & tall end.
Thanks Paul, it's a long ol' process, longer than I thought!, but am getting through it !
Del if you use a consolidating roller you will get a stronger job with less air bubbles and use less resin. Make one yourself with a pice of m10 or 12 threaded rod probably 75mm long drill each end and fit to a wire frame that you could make from an old spoke bent in half and ope the ends out to a triangle then bend the ends in to fit your length of threaded rod a quick weld where the wires go down towards your rod roller and your done for ten minutes work and less than a buck in materials. If you put another layer of glass on simply lay the tissue on and roller it you will find you won't need to add extra resin. Btw the tissue is used as a first layer on tight corners as it forms easier than the thicker matt either chopped stand or woven.
Keep up the good work.

Looking good buddy, good luck for the peel off and reveal 🤘🤘, regards Stu
Thanks Stu, always good to hear from you!
Oke, this looks better then the old one.
Even though you can see resembles between them ;)
Del, its too late now but 5l of resin with catalyst, 16 square m of 300g matting and 5 square m of tissue from east coast fibreglass would have cost about 55 quid probably way more than you needed but half the cost, so in theory less money for the quantities you may have got away with. Handy for any future projects you may do..
Now ya tell me lol ... I knew they'd be a cheaper industrial option, I've saved the name there buddy, will check them out when I need it... many thanks !
(P) Looking better and better fella :-)
Will you be going to Mackies bike meet 2nd June? I’m “hoping" to get down to Cambridge from Anglesey… but the old girl needs a full exhaust system replaced (not the nicest job on an old VFR) and a replacement oil cooler pipe… not so easy on a 22 year old bike and right now I’m struggling to get the part. Fingers crossed I’ll get her running in time and maybe see you and MAckie there.
Still torn now…the new tail or the old… Like em both!
I do love a good doughnut or 2. Makes me harder to kidnap :)
top job as always.5 layers of 450 csm gives you around 5-6 mm of thickness depend how resin rich it is. Now waiting for "demould ", but you do it asap it is still flexi and will be easier to take it of the bike.
Hi Sven, thank you for that advice, that is a useful reassurance... 6mm, or so, was what I was hoping for, it's thicker in many areas where it's overlapped, I have some air bubbles to carve out and re-fill next, but Sat video breaks it out of the mould and thankfully the clay stayed flexible and soft, so I was actually able to clip out,a nd dismantle, the cage from underneath and then peel out the clay and the foil, etc., and it is a impressively strong and extremely light... I think you'll be quite impressed (I hope!), thanks for your support, all the best, and thanks for your advice again...
Moonfleet41 about grp any time :)
I would suggest soaking the completed item in water for a good few hours to see if that will help breakdown the clay. The mesh will bend it's just the clay part that you need to get out as clean as possible to help prevent braking the seat
Hi Craig, I like that thinking, I'm a couple of videos ahead and have broken it out now, fortunately the clay stayed damp being sandwiched between all the rags and the foil, which kept it all sealed, like a giant Dairylee triangle lol... so the great bonus is, I actually managed to recover 9% of the clay, stuck it all back in the bucket with a big splash of water and then I'll knead it all back in to one lump in the future !
Its not a problem love your content so pure. As its a true trial and error process...
Thanks Wayne, you're very kind, its a fun project. and im really enjoying it..
Hi Dell old fella, you are doing a verry good job so far. One thing... Please dont use wood. Take youre time and keep it youre bike.
Thanks buddy, Thats a good thought, im always happy to learn from the helpful viewers, but it is easy to get side tracked and divert from what you were going to do... ill make it work out just fine in the end, and its great fun learning new things along the way... Take care, and thanks again.. Del.
Very interesting project del i look forward to the next video.
Thanks buddy, it's slow progress, sorry it's not more adventurous at this point, but getting there slowly !
If you've got resin left after the last layers you could make bulkheads for strength instead of wood which will swell and contract when wet.
Thanks Grimm, good thinking..
Proper preparation prevents piss poor performance? :D There you go I said it. I can almost smell the resin now.. Dad always had something going on with boats in the garage, never really saw one float but the smell I'll never forget it.
Carry on!
That'll be the one buddy... old cliches are the best aye?!
Enjoying this build for all the stuff I've never done before...like fiberglass. I'm curious why you would use wood bracing instead of metal. With wood I always wonder about rot...but then they made Mosquitos out of wood
It was really for lightness more then anything David, but looking a little further in to it, you'd need a chunky piece of wood to be strong and a thin piece of metal would weigh the same...so may scrap that and just use some 1" angle, but a few more jobs to do first to stabilise the panel ! Thanks for watching....
Looks very comfy , just what I need after 6hr I surgery last Thursday. Came home Mon, they make you get mobile ASAP, in a lot of pain but apparently successful op, yabba dabba doo 👍😎
Hi Geoff, that's fantastic news, so glad it went well - wishing you a very speedy recovery... all the very best, D&Px
Hi Del, yep at least that way you won't need the talcum powder X
Hi Del, I am enjoying the fibreglass section of your build, can't wait to see the final outcome, but hey I am your fellowman and I care about your bits, so please tell me you will consider putting a couple of foam rubber pads afore and aft, to protect your male bits!
Kind regards Warren
Ha ha, Thanks Warren.. it fits me just fine, and in the finest traditional German fighter stylee, it'll get a leather pad at best, doesn't need much more... the broach and earrings will be just fine..lol!
I don't have as much faith in my dietary discipline. I need a little more room in case I eat I big plate of enchiladas.
I was passing the bakers today and saw they have doughnuts in there that are 10" across! .... get they behind me satan lol
Haven’t heard these songs in ages del! Bring back the memories from when you started this build. Its looking mint at the moment mate 👍🏻.
Thanks buddy, just decided to include a few tunes with so much time lapse - lot of people don't like it, so I just try and make a balance and pop it in bow and again...! But more to come in the ext couple of videos for sure...
Del, seems hard to believe you started on this build 120 videos ago! I’ts looking really nice although that seat does look quite tight- you may need to wear, um, a cup to prevent slamming the “boys” up against that beautiful tank! 😎
haha, thanks Gary...! I reckon just staying off the doughnuts and keeping the seat covering as thin as possible, I should be ok... if not, then I may have to finesse a little room in the back of the tank with some very careful planishing lol
Moonfleet41 😉 and pls ignore the sour pusses... just keep on keeping on!
Hey Gary, there will always be sour pussies, you can please everyone all the time mate - I always tend to look at it, if I can, in a positive way, as if they are engaged enough in what we're doing to give a impassioned criticism, then it shows they have to care in some way or another, otherwise they just woulnd't watch ... it's great to have your support brother, take care, D&Px
Moonfleet41 sour what? Hehe 😜
Loving "Laminatification" Del, why use a long word when a diminutive one will do! Hope you're both keeping well...looking forward to that Harley ride soon! All the best mate - TMF
Hey buddy, great to hear from you again... been watching lots of your latest videos recently, you even had me checking out the new Z900 RS when I dropped in to Bransons last week, the new cafe model has huge potential to be a hoonigan bike, just like those back in the day... weather's looking good, we need to make a plan soon aye?!
We do indeed sir, we do indeed!
Yikes, tight fit sitting in there. Hope the “boys” don’t get squished too badly. 😬
haha I think I'll be ok, just have to keep the seat covering down to almost nothing, and stay off the doughnuts - what better motivation lol
Looking good so far going to love to see what happens on sat
👍
No way is that seat big enough, however I wish you well when you come to sell it which you will.
Not for sale buddy... just gonna enjoy it !
If you only had bought industrial quantyties.
Del could you not use alloy plate on the underneath , be lighter and won’t rot like wood, just a thought 🤔👍
Good thinking that man! I was only talking about that this morning, as I took the trouble to weigh, with my new scales!, a foot of 3x2 wood against a foot of 1" angle iron... and would you believe, they're pretty much the same weight ! Plus, if you check out Saturday's video, you'll see the panel has come out ridiuclously stronger than I thought... so I doesn't really need more strength, just some supports to bolt in to... learning as I go mate !
T shape alloy angle be best can cut on a bandsaw to probably the strongest shape 👍
That's great my friend! Look what you made.
Even after seeing you sat on the bike that still looks snug... also the fin on it again is very close to your spine.. i guess it's more of a show bike than a long distance ride?
It's certainly not a show bike, I can assure you of that, the peak of the tail lays backwards so shouldn't present any safety issues, and it'll get a little rounded yet... but it's not a long distance bike anyway, you're right, streetfighters are for ragging round town lol Thanks for watching Wayne...

(P) Shame you ran out of Resin but gives it chance to cure 😀
Sure thing buddy, got some little repairs to do, bubbles to eliminate and it's ready to break out the mould !
PS need to PM you later for a chat...
Nice work Del, it's looking better by the minute mate. will be watching Saturday to see how you get on with removing the clay mold. Hoping it all goes well. Cheers
Thanks buddy, it's a wonderfully enjoyable process, and even though there are probably way easier ways to have done this, this has been so enjoyable it' been worth it !
Hello mate, this is not related to this video but I need advice please.. Sold my CBR929RR and a pal here has a zx12r 2002 for sale. Any advice on things to check please ? Only has 41,000km on clock..
Hi Gary, all the usual things, same as any bike... life expectancy of the consumables, is the servicing up to date?? Fresh MOT?? All the sorts of things you'd check on any bike... you're on to a winner with a ZX12, as they are pretty indestructible, and if you're buying it from a pal, he's hardly gonna stitch you up... without seeing the bike, I couldn't make a judgement, but I know of no known faults to look out for, other than wear and tear or neglect... good luck with it mate
Great. Can't wait for the reveal all the best Del
Thank you, much appreciated!
Wood? I think a hard wood would be your better option as there's very minimal expansion and be stronger great seat so far
Thanks buddy, great thinking, but of course that's way heavier than soft wood, but found an odd thing just checking some options yesterday, and that was that 1ft of 1" angle iron weighs about the same as a 1ft of 3x2 wood...??!!! So may go for the iron option just as a mounting point to bolt to some struts and as the panel is now broken out of the mould, I've discovered it's really rigid and stiff, so flex is no longer an issue, as I thought it might be... just need somewhere to mount it!
Do you think Feast of Friends will put the rest of their music up on Google Play? I like that so I can listen on the road
Contact them directly, he's 'Blue Onion' on YT, they love to share their music, am quite sure he'll share with you whatever he has!
Nailed it Del!
Thanks both, hellish painful but to be expected with all their banging screwing cutting etc, you'd have made a good surgeon Del, very similar to what they were doing lol 😎🖒xx
Body filer paint why not a gel coat?
Hi Stephen, I like that... because gel coat seals against air bubble expansion, I've got a fair few to eliminate at the weekend and next week, but it is a bumpy surface, so will need some sandable filler to fine tune the shape, not much, just a thin skin and mostly sanded off, just leaving the low sposts - I'll look in to gel coat options, but it's getting 2-pack painted in the end anyway, so may not need to .... thanks buddy!
Awesome work as always! I have done a lot of fiberglass work in the last 20+ years and what you have done there is better than my first 10 attempts! Just please get a respirator. That headache you get after working with resin is because you're breathing in fumes that are killing your brain.
Cheers Adrian, you're very kind, and I've probably been breathing paint fumes for the same time as you ! Always something more to buy for the garage, and it's definitely on my list ! Cheers..
Looks nice bruv I can see the similar shape to the old piece but shorter. Not pointing out the bleeding obvious but it looks good. I'll look forward to seeing how you get on with removing the clay mould and seeing it as a piece of the bike off the bike if you get my drift. Another great video, Nice one Bruvva. Ride safe bruv and catch up soon.
Cheers brother, it's out of the mould now, was a bun fight, but the good news is - I won ! Catch up soon fellah...
Looking good buddy!!!
Cheers Steven - much appreciated!
Hi Del, not that i'm an expert in anything in life but they often use foam beams in boats because once they are covered in fibreglass they are as strong as older materials. So expandable foam cut to the shape you want or even something like celotex insulation or recticel insulation. check out this video from about 4.37. ruclips.net/video/qSL71LlgCsYK/видео.htmleep up the good work!!
Good job Del. Thanks for sharing as always. This might be a stupid question, but, do you clean the brush after use, or do you use a disposable one? If you clean it, can you share how?
Top job del nice one cheers Colin
Thanks Colin, much appreciated !
Wot no mask 😉 aghhh shoot me now😁 love from tree huggers..HSE..save the whale..anti everything brigade. ...ban smellie bikes..and finally. pc are us... brill as usual. .👍👍👍👍👍
haha thanks Carol - when I walked out the garage I checked first for bricks flying in my direction with HSE PPE written on them lol... but they would be easy to spot though, as they would be hi-viz with soft corners ... obviously !! lol
Once you add more layers I can’t see you fitting that unit with leathers on, are you having a pad on the back of the seat as that will add more restriction, it’s all good though can’t wait for Saturdays edition.👍🏻
Hi Peter, there really is more room than it looks... am gonna have no more than a layer of leather on the seat panel, maybe two layers if I'm feeling girlie ! But in finest hardcore fighter tradition, soft seats are for Walter Softies lol... this bike is gonna be Dennis the Menace ha ha
Hi Del, do you get high on that resin? Must have taken in a fair bit by now. Getting any withdrawal symptoms? Hallucinations ? Etc. Nice job though, great stuff.👍🏻😆
No nothing at all buddy, am usually too busy trying to swot the squirrels that fly round the ceiling of the garage and watching out for the train that sometimes comes through the wall !
