Yesterday I trimmed the aft edge of the canopy to match the aft bows with about 1.5" or overhang. The print calls out for 0.5-1.0" here, but I'm intentionally cutting everything oversized and will do a final trim to fit later.
Robert August called while I was polishing up the edge and wanted to go to the Kawasaki dealership and go bike shopping so I stopped there for the day.
This afternoon, once the it warmed up a little, I trimmed the sides to approximately the level of the bottom of the side bows.
The canopy is amazingly floppy after all this trimming is done. I clamped it to the frame upside down on the table top hammock and it seems to be spreading the frame out in the front about 3/8" and about 5/16 in the back.
Smoothed all edges to 220 grit, then got Kriya to help me flip the canopy over onto the frame on the plane.
I think I need smaller clamps to hold this together in this orientation and verify how much the frame is spreading, but once that's done I'll be able to do a final trim on the canopy and then hopefully wrap this part of the project up
