Hi,
I would like to get started making stuff for my motorcycles in carbon fiber, but I am a total newbie and need some advice on exactly what materials and tools I need.
My first project will be a cafe racer style seat and the biggest I have in mind is a fuel tank. I know that a cafe racer seat isnt a good beginner job so I will do some experiments first, but the seat is the need I have now. My plan with the seat is to make a plug in some foam material and "skin" the plug to make the seat. So to get a newbie like me started on a project like this, what would you recommend of material and tools? Is prepeg the way to go? Do I need a vacum pump and bags? What else?
Please descibe the materials and tools best suited for me, the newbie, maybe with links to the actual product.
Thank you
Søren
