I got bored today and decided to play with CF... i could have done better but didn't want to take the bike apart...

 

where do you guys get CF that you can cut or do whatever it is you guys do to it. i would lover to cover my gauges and triple tree. looks good though.....*I* dont like the reservoir part, but so long as you do.

 

i get it in the cloth form by the yard..i just made a flat piece and a wooden template and passed it through a router.. my plan is to get a set of tails and a tank and CF them both...

 

What are those swtiches on your left side panel???

 

good eye kamikazi, i didnt even see them there for a minute.

jersey: what are approximate costs on DIY CF? and what advice could you give me, i want to do my triple tree and gauges, and maybe a few other places, but have been told it is expensive. although they never came back to tell me why once i asked.

 

switches are for neons, strobes, and arming Nos...(i never used the nos and took the bottle off when i got the bike)

The resin cost's about 50-60 $ per gallon and the cf cost depends on where you get it...you can try here Carbcom

to make flat panels lay a few peices on glass and soak in resin....
to laminate a peice use spray glue to glue fabric in place....paint resin on (few layers) sand all the way to 600 then polish and clearcoat...
