[16silver]

i think there should be a contact list stickied with all the manufacturers/cheap paint jobs carbon kits etc of the people who can do moulds/kits of fairing and also where they are, because im having a damn hard time finding soneone who can do carbon fibre fairings for my bike at a low price, people at commercial places want 8Grand for an RG fairing kit, can u believe how expensive that is??

I am available for all fibreglass work in the Christchurch region. As to your carbon fairings, apart from the bling factor there is little advantage to be had from them as most are made with the same technique as ordinary fibreglass ones. To take advantage of its rigidity and strenth a much more complex method is used which is why top quality ones are so expensive.

its expensive cause its one fibreglass layer then a kevlar layer then carbon on the top layer int it? for the street fairings so they dont crack easy
correct me if im wrong?

correct me if im wrong?I think it's because it's baked at high temperature in a vacuum autoclave.

Yes its dear because of the setup costs and the machinery required (autoclave,bagging equipment,pressure leak detector, intensive labor etc). And because of the very little demand locally. Most of the top gear comes from europe or the states where the demand is higher and costs can be spread further.

Easy just contact crazefox he can do the lot. Even has a carbon fibre hook up (look out mr 916)

What a bloody good idea,On top of fibreglass repairs and new bodywork kits we also carry out a full refinish and also do plastic welding and 1 off prototype work including carbonfibre and carbon/Kevlar and subframe fabrication
