this is a great write up. why spend 100+ on a cowl when making one is cheaper and fun im in the process of doing one myself. Jbaz do you have any pics of it completed?

 

ACHOOO

quite a dusty thread u revived here

any finished pics of it though?

 

OK its not the resin that makes it strong what you are using is finish cloth and is meant to finish the part you need a strong 2 to 4 oz matt and about 2 layers of that will suffice...oh and if you use some plastic over the top and a bondo spreader you can get a clean nice finish that is easy to work with...

I work and make fiberglass/CF/Kevlar chit all day thats my job so if you need any help drop me a line any way looks nice so far...

 

ha yeah i know... i actually searched for it- and i saved the link... kinda forgot how old it was.

 

its ok though, i want to see a finished product anyway

 

I have an extra '07 rear cowl from buying a set of fairings to "fix" my bike and am real tempted to do this custom mod instead of forking over the $150 for a Honda OEM cowl. Have worked with the fiberglass a bit while repairing fairings on my ZX6R. Would like to see pics/instructions from anyone else picking up this dusty (but incomplete) thread.

 

Haha, I forgot how old this thread was. It's dead, no finished product since I put it on a month later as is and wrecked the bike at Deals gap.

 

Haha, how anti-climactic!

We'll see how mine goes...
