This is an upper section/tacho mount for a classic race bike, the original part in glass fibre weighs 350 grams and the carbon component is 80 grams. I used wet lay and vacuum  bag. I will be making a complete fairing later this week for the same bike .

That's looking good, and very light too!!

Is there any gel coat or is it just resin?

I'm assuming that it's 2 halves that join at the front rather than the 1 piece?
 
Hi Chris
This was plain wet lay and vac bag and no gel coat and yes it will bbe made from 3 sections, the bike its being fitted to is a class winner and had four wins out of four races at the weekend and so reduced weight is our priority. It will have to be painted ( with a light coat) as classic bikes can not race with visible carbon.
