Why??


I've always wanted to try my hand at carbon fibre.  These pieces are just right to replicate.  If I wanted to make carbon copies, I'd start by making a mold of the ones I have in fibreglass, then polishing up the surface of the mold and laying carbon cloth in that.  By removing the texture from the original pieces, I make it a lot easier to get the mold surface (and hence the final bits) nice and shiny.

Just wondering where "precious" on the top of the tank, plus fifty kilos of tacky carbon are in terms of originality.

Not sayin Precious is original in any form. :(

Just put that up for those who think they will not be competitive with a stock bike, actually they have the advantage if it is a clean early model  showing little wear and tear and some good klms. [thumbsup]

Oh and Teff that was not aimed at you either,   we all know you are a lost cause [roll]
