First off can i say none of this would happen if it it wasn't for Paul, Matt and the guys at Easy Composites,
to say you couldn't meet a nicer, more helpful, informative, interested in your project, etc, etc. bunch of people.
Paul and Matt have bent over backwards to help me and thanks have to be said.

I first went to EC at the old building to pick up a skinning kit to skin the header tank on my road bike and ended up making a  rea rseat cover

can be seen in the picture


This was a bad idea and has sent me down the road of composite hell, lol
I started rebuilding an old gsxr 400 race bike and decided to replace all the old uv damaged panels in CF.

first part was the air box so I got to work.

will use tank as top of box


my first play with wax sheet and filleting wax


box fitted to bike

Sorry not to have posted any of my bike build recently but i have had to leave it as ive been making a part for a mate.
Ive managed to do a couple of small moulds for my gsxr and will update in the near future 

so i thought i would post a picture of the cover i made for the mates races bike.
Its a VFR 400 NC30, he's having a small ally tank mounted under the cover.
