Looking good
My guess on the windscreen would be it was originally a rear hugger?
and the winner is Greg! it was originally a ducati 748 rear hugger that got damaged in the chain guard area... so i chopped it up.
okay everybody,
Here's whats been done in the last week.
I got my open barrel crimping tool in... so i started on the control wiring connectors.
here's the type of crimp... makes me feel like a professional!
Then i did all the wires, lined them up and put the wires in the housing..
and another...
then i got to work on the tank. all sanded, smoothed, primed and polished. I didnt go too crazy on this part of the plug as most of the smoothing work will be easier on the mold than in the plug cavity.
layed up the glass...
and popped the mold off. it turned out nice and stiff
now, it was too much work to try and get around the throat at the same time so i trimmed the mold back, and re-released the area i needed.
and as i had to fill the odd spot that cloth wouldnt want to go into, i made some very fine fiberglass chop and mixed it straight into the resin and applied it like very fiberous putty
the chop filled the lows spots, and then a couple layers of cloth... then i trimmed it before it had fully cured so it would come off the plug better
While the mold was curing i made my speedo mount.
It bolts into the triple via two of the mounting hols i used to hold the part while i was machining it.
then, i popped my mold off, and Viola! All the molds are made. They just need a little prep before i start making the carbon fiber parts!
more soon! i am going to be taking a break this week to get some painting for a freind done, but i will try and still chip away at it. My fuse box should be coming this week, so i can get that wired in, but i wont do the final wiring till i mount the tail and battery to see how long all the wires should be.
thanks!
