Added fiberglass extensions to the seat to help integrate the seat and tank. The sides of the seat have also been trimmed.
The fender that I made a while back has also been mounted. The fender needs to be trimmed considerably.

It is a minor thing, but I think I would have extended the front/bottom of the seat pan in a gentle arc (again, integrating with the tank arc) so that it met/covered the frame member that is visible right at that point. Looks like something is missing otherwise.
I tried to do what you’re suggesting and agree that it doesn’t currently look quiet right. I made a template from the arc on the bottom of the gas tank and shifted it to extend the arc to the seat extensions before trimming them.
The seat needs a few more layers of fiberglass to stiffen it up. I’ll add a bit to the extensions and try again when I do this.
