Hello guys,
The owner had already modified this yamaha R1 for the track (electronics, engine, carbonfiber components ecc), but he wanted to replace the fiberglass fairings with something special. Why not use blue carbon-polyester fabric from EC? After some weeks first pieces was mounted on the bike.
All pieces are made by infusion: only carbon fiber and carbon-kevlar patches where the screws are inserted. No clear coat

This summer he used the bike for some races, this winter I hope to be able to achieve the entire bodywork ...
