It is not bad as long as you know what you are doing.
But with hand laying you will have a hard time being consistent
with your results unless you have a nice form and a vacuum bench.

Yeah it'll defiantly take a while... But once i can finally get my dad to help, i won't have a big problem about being consistent because my dad has done fiberglass for many years for airplane parts.. The way we do it it get a part, change it to what we want, sand it down/bondo if need be, primer, sand again, primer, polish, pull a mold from it and start making parts.

I'm interested... but feel like you'd have much better business opportunity manufacturing f4i or RR fairings for the f3. I'd work on that if I were you.

Yeah... Only problem is all my bikes are down (disassembled) right now and it's hard to balance working on them/making money for parts/spending time on fairings/and enjoying my summer break Trying to also get $600 for my Ninja 250 engine Kawasaki has it right now.. And my F3 is sitting in my dad's paintbooth waiting for color Haven't ridden my own bikes in over a year..
