Like I said, strips will work, just pieces are better.
I am going to add support in two places. The rib between the stringers I will extent up to support the repaired cover. This is directly under the seat weight so should work great. And another one over the gas tank that is supported on each side with those L brackets to the stringers. I'll resin and cloth the new support as well. It is a bad design I think that there was no support and all the weight is on that lip on the cover the 3/4" wood itself isn't even directly supported it is relying solely on the resin and cloth. For something so effective and so easy I have no idea why they didn't do this. Time and money I guess...
