I’m having trouble making a sheet.　It’s my first initiative, and I’m making progress little by little while looking for ways to do it.

Fix the carbon pipe backrest made last time to the seat base.

Many layers of FRP are layered and hardened.

Paste FRP on the back for reinforcement.　Originally, it would be better to make the backrest from an iron plate, but I made it from FRP because it does not fit two people and it has a sissy bar.

I covered the backrest with an acrylic plate.　Secure with laundry clips.

It was difficult, but I managed to make it.

Since the sheet is thin, put another sponge layer on top of it.

I cut off the protruding part.
