I hope photos can say more than I can.... So much to say so I hope the photos are enough...
I bought an Aprilia RS250 off eBay for a trackday bike..It had been a right off so I didnt expect it to be really nice.. But it was... So it would have been a crime to use it on track and trash perfectly good new genuine bodywork.. So I decided to change the bikes shape totally.....
Here is the bike just after I bought it...
Work starts...
More in the next post.....

Keep me up to date on prf pre preg,I use there materials,I must say there quality is the best I've used,all there carbon is certified,you'll have to let me no what prices they quote you they do vary.
No problem.. I was not too happy with the pin holes with the sample I had.. But the clarity was good.... I just hope it is close to VTF now.. I have used SHD's materials too... I used it for a test then for back up material. It works perfectly as a back up material and is cheaper than V TF but the last few times I called I didnt get a quote so I am planning on using PRF more for back up at least and surface if it works well.

I used one my friend, and mould maker, made with several 3kw heating elements and a steel lined but fully insulated case... It has ramp and dwell controller too... I am planning make my own later this year with a more up date controller. He has given me guidelines on what I need and how to make it... I have a freezer here now so all I now need is my oven....
