I have removed the fairing from the mould and you can see the results below, all done with EC products and vacuum bag. Pre trimmed weight is 315 grams .

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.
