Pete,
If the six ounce cloth referenced above is the same that I used, then 6 ounce material should be perfect for making a large motorcycle fairing.
I used one layer 6 ounce cloth over foam, on the tail of the car with very good strength.
Obviously, at mount points the layers of glass tapered up to five.
In my opinion 18 ounce glass is simply not needed for a light-weight glass/foam structure this size.
Jim.
