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

Loving the work Chris; you've put some serious work in to get this far and it really is paying off. It's been clear from the start that you were going to go in 'at the deep end' in terms of complexity and standard of finish required - generally we advise customers to start easy and work up in order to avoid being put-off when difficult things don't go right but I'm pleased to say that you totally ignored this advice and through skill, patience and hard work will get the results anyway.

It's great to have another project so well documented on the forum and being really open and honest about problems that are encountered. The nature of composites, with so many different projects and different material combinations possible is that there is *always* an element of the unknown. You have to be prepared for some problems and persevere when they occur.

I can't wait to see and read more Smile
