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

One problem is that not all micro-leaks make a sound ... Crying   so even an Andrea is not "infallible" -- I was inspired however, so I'm working on an electronic solution/aid -

It's basically just a small stereo headphone amplifier with an input jack for my very old Sony stereo Mic (From a long defunct "Walkman Pro" Smooooth)  But I will try to add some sort of circuitry that adds a high frequency (ultrasonic) input as well .. it should be possible to do a "frequency divider"  to be able to hear the higher freqs, and mix them with the ordinary audible ones..  The problem old gits have is a lack of sensitivity to high frequencies.. Andreas ears can detect up to 19 KHz .. my ears stop at 12  - 13 KHz (and that's very good for someone my age and hobbies!!)

The nose-cone looks Awesome!!   Good job there!!   I want to make one now for my Agusta -- w00t 

"Sapere Aude"... Dare to KNOW!

Do not adjust our mind, theres a fault in reality :-)
