Well, the wood from the side of the fuse extends enough to cover the sides, then you just need to fill the top and bottom and front like say on a sportster, and it is a cowel. Another option is to put a piece of foam on the front, sand it to the shape you want, glass it and melt the foam with gas, or use the foam for a plug for a mold.

You could use just about anything that fits. I just left the sides long like they come in the kit, and left the top and bottom open. It looked pretty good.

I appreciate the info, I may have to go that direction. I really wanted something fiberglass, or abs plastic.

The BMP is probably a huge (bit-wise) file. Doubtful if your profile mailbox could contain it and if you're using a modem for up-loads, forget it! The thing to do it to convert it to a more-friendly format - JPG, for example. Using MicroSoft PhotoEditor open the BMP image and then resave it as a JPG image. Depending on the physical size, the file can be uploaded quickly using any protocol. Hope this helps.

OK, here is the cowl in question, in my opinion, I'ved seen better, I think I'll stick with the kit looks.
This is the picture that CDE sent me.
