i wonder if you can use this stuff on a windscreen if you could get it to curve and flatten around the edges (on a pre)

If I have any left over I was going to try a couple parts...windscreen was one of them, so I'll keep you posted.

Ok, project has started...

I ripped everything apart yesterday. The tail end was a little difficult but not nearly as hard as I thought it would be.

I took tomorrow off of work and have Fri off due to easter, so hopefully by the weekend I will have some nice pics to post. I don't think I'll have enough cure time to work on sanding/buffing until prob wed of next week.

Ok, took about an hour to strip off the decals and remove the left over glue. The heat gun worked great!!! best $10 spent in a long time.

Here are the pics of some parts with carbon on them:


Bike before I Started:


I did this side first:

I didn't leave enough material for the holes so near the ends there is some missing, I'll have to find somehting to put there, prob some chrome green pinstripe...hmmm
In this pic it has 2 coats of resin

Center was easy..no detail and the hole doesn't really matter b/c the light goes there:

Also has 2 coats of resin.

I did those thursday and then the following today.

Right side fairing:

Much better job this time, made sure I left enough for the holes. I really like the way it came out. Only one coat of resin so far.

Closer shot of right side where your leg would be:




This shows some nice detail w/ the light...


Bottom left:


Bottom right:



This was more difficult than I thought it would be, but so far I am happy with the results.

I went through 4 yards of fabric and am ordering another 3 tonight for the tank, tail, front fender, and solo cowl.

Let me know what you think....

Where did you end up getting your wraps from? Those look GREAT!

Thanks everyone!!! It's nice to get a little encouragement. It is a pretty slow and tedious process, especially by myself.

I went to the garage today and checked on the parts, the first one just needs some resin added to some low spots and that part will be ready for sanding.

I got all of my material online, from ebay actually...

Everything shipped quick and it's the cheapest price I've found. You also get a gallon of resin for what others charge for a 1/2 gallon or quart.

Too bad I'm poor. I'll probably end up getting the vinyl crap if I go the wrapping method.

Not much of an update... adding more layers of resin, slow process. And waiting for more fiber to come in the mail.

The parts are looking better with 3 coats on them, I think I'll let it cure until tomorrow and then start sanding them down.

I'm not going to clear coat over the parts as the gas won't be a problem with the resin, so I will just buff/polish it to a shine. Any suggestions on which compound to use?

Thanks
