Carbon Exhaust for GSXR's.

[R6_kid:Me]

From New Zeland motorcycle shops?

Overpriced.

[imdying]

Have talked to a couple of painters and VHT clears are mainly matt, which is a bummer, as a high gloss peice of finish carbon looks the bee's knees.IMO

Mmmm, yes and no... I'm a bit over the high gloss carbon... the matt finish autoclave cured bits are definitely sexy, can find pics if you like

about 1 week from now I am going to post a thread..
mmm.. carbon

Yes yes, don't think we haven't noticed your goings on around the web

I think I ended up buying that carbon exhaust your mate made for the 02 R6. That thing was sweet and I didn't have any problem with the carbon fiber

[Buddy L]

that was him, we saw his old R6 at the cold kiwi and noticed the exhuast on it. but you wern't riding it. Sold it?

[Aero165]

Yeah, I sold it about 2 days before cold kiwi. Im actually in the market for a another 600-750 at the moment. I was texting you the other night regarding a cash + sister deal. (My sister being Meekey_mouse on KB) I was going to go through with the deal till she found out. lol

[Aero165]

OH!!! I just read the comment you replied to on your auction for your GSXR! I know who you are now! You were at the moto TT track day weren't you?.... And you had the small off????

I haven't been to a moto tt track day before, have been to a kb one earlyer in the year. Where i did come off.
how much are you selling your wr450 for? their is a guy in the off road fourm looking at getting something similar

[Aero165]

Oh yeah! My bad. It was a KB one. I remember now cause I took my sisters spot cause she couldnt ride. I've already sold it. I'm going to wellington this weekend to look for a bike

[Buddy L]

What about mine? its a pearler. you have seen the photos

[Aero165]

It's outa my price range by a few $$$. NEARLY!!! Plus im really after a 750. There so hard to find tho

Aee you using a VER, or baking a high temp epoxy?

We are using a High temp vynalester resin.. Wots this VER???

[imdying]

VER = Vinylester Resin

Are you post curing it? I've built a wee oven for the purpose, soon to be a bigger model

What type of laminate are you using, and how many layers? 195gm ish? 5 layers?

[worm]

VER = vynlester.... ahhh got ya
Fibre glass first layer (as carbon won't flex enough to remove from the mould) then two layers of carbon. Havn't decided wot weave to use yet.. yeah it has to be post cured. Otherwise the resin we have wont actually cure.. Be interesting to see how well it comes out as it will have to be hand layed, wont be a mould finished exterior. tooo hard to do

[imdying]

It should be easy enough to make a multi piece mold, but of course laying it up is then the challenge Perhaps infusing it with an internal presurised bladder might be the go?

Are you bagging it or infusing it? I assume bagging? What temp are you post curing at?

[jade]

shityarn cunts you are all going to crack stiffys over my pictures next week lol

I just quickly read this thread and it seems some of you know what you are on about, its cool that you guys are set up yourselves, (eg making an oven)
pm me some pics of what you guys are up to and maybe I could help with any questions you might have about - prepreg, resin infusion, vacuum bagging etc
