    Carbon F. Sneek Peek Only

    Ok ladies well Ive been a busy boy since I crashed my bike, Repainted all fairings myself and have stickers put back on them, I also made a certain fairing off my bike out of fibreglass and carbon, you lucky ladies are about to get a sneek peek. sneek peek because Im not posting up many pics yet, Ill do that when my bikes back in 1 piece and I have ALL the photos (hopefully Saturday)
    Anyway, these photos are the fairing I made out of Fibre Glass and carbon, check out my profile pick to see the original fairing around the seat on my bike
    Process... I lay straight up over the original fairing with fibreglass... (after waxing it naturally..) waited for it to cure and then trimmed it back to the right shape, I then gave it a grind up just to fair it up a bit... then I popped it off the original fairing (thanx to the wax) and lay the carbon twill over it and dabbed resin on it with a brush, Once it was tacky I put plenty more resin on it so I had something to fair up when I went to sand it, grinding, shaping sanding etc went on for sometime before I clear coated it, then more sanding, clearcoat, sanding, clearcoat, sanding clearcoat etc... this Is what I came away with, sorry for the brief work description but im not in the mood right now !!..
    anyway... the product..
