Default Fiberglass 3D Tank cover

Here is a shot of my 3D Tank cover still being made...it's about 75% complete as shown.
It has blue LED lights tucked up under the leather beside each eye socket. It was molded to fit a 3.3 tank that I swapped out to fit my 2010 Sportster 48.
It will be held in place with leather straps and buckles.
All hardware is real - it will have 3 spikes inserted in the chin area, the chain will attach to the hoop in the nose.

What part is fiberglass....looks like a skull and leather?

Not really doing it for me but i would need to see it on the bike in a complete setting...

@ Pirate - The entire piece is fiberglass layered in leather. The skull is carved, airbrushed then cleared in dull. It sets on top of my tank and is easily removed.
Understand it's not for everyone but then again, not everyone rides my bike

Add new pics when you get it on the bike. You may be on to something.
