Easy Composites have luckily put together starter kits for those very options, so it's as simple as heading on over to the website and checking those out! The kits will contain everything you need to create a basic carbon part. You will also want a mould making kit, so check out the epoxy and unimould kits and decide which way you want to go.

I've got a bike (Triumph Daytona) and I'm going to be converting it to a cafe racer over the coming months. Now, I'm going to be changing the seat unit so it has no pillion option and I'm thinking of making it out of carbon. I'm also looking to make various other parts out of carbon such as the footrest heel plates, chain guard, small nose cone etc etc. Basically, a lighter version of a speed triple. I haven't made anything like this before although I do know how to spanner I need to know what I'll need (everything) to begin. I assume a pump to create a vacuum, plus the various carbon sheets and resins and glues. So, if someone can sort me out a shopping list and why I need it that would be cool. Cheers all!
