Thanks for the video, Yamaha V stars have the worst seat from the factory. I did this last night and it worked perfect. The liberal coat of wax is crucial for a good release, and I pulled it before the fiber got totally cured. Starting the foam this weekend.

There’s a few ways you could mount it. You can make a tab which will slide into the loop already on the frame. Then, use a tab of industrial velcro on the back. I’ve also just used the velcro along the edges. In this case, you’d sew the velcro to the lining glued to the back (even though it is self adhesive). The adhesive sticks well to the frame, but less so to the lining (either heavy felt, or car trunk carpet). Only use industrial velcro – (available at Home Depot)

Not sure if you have heard of U.V resin…….Its used in fabricating surf boards with which iam very familiar with. It saves the hassel of havein to wait for it to cure. You did work our of a garage. The way to do it is to close all the doors etc and when you are done glassing you kick on some UV lights and its sandable fiberglass and resin in a matter of minutes.

Thanks for the vid it was very helpful
