man I fucking love those widebodies.. absolutely killer dude. cant wait to see your bike come together, looking real mean in that bright color you got there.

 

[phat13]

Thanx MJ
So no progress for a while,been making a few seat units
I'm also back on to the car as I need to get some money together

I did however do a tiny bit of carbon overlay,
It's a 400 four side panel ,the carbon was just a rough bit,the weave is rubbish as it was folded up but I'm happy with the look of it an finish
I think the tank has now found its finish

Cheers Wayne

Nice carbon work. They look smoother that the pair I did. After I wrapped my side covers, I pulled the original plastic covers out to leave thin light C/F covers.

 

[phat13]

Thanx buddy

Yea it's all in the prep after you skin them,
I'm defo Guna be doing a lot more of this,love the fact u can cover almost anything.

Fork legs, huuuuum :

Cheers Wayne

 

[MJPriceisright]

[gas_fiend]

this is a really interesting build. can't wait to see the tank covered!

 

[phat13]

Having a few weeks off the bike I'm back at it now,
Made a carbon seat unit and I now have the new fuel cap tacked in ready for tigging up ;D

Much better than the old flip cap

Cheers Wayne

Are you working with a vacuum form machine? That seat is the dogs ballocks!

 

[phat13]

Lol I wish!
It's all wet lay at the moment,getting a few pin holes but nothing a bit more resin won't cure
Cheers buddy

At long last I painted a wheel up, sand blasted then epoxy then base coat then a satin clear coat.
To say I'm happy with the colour is an understatement , I fecking love it!!

Can't wait to get the rubber on now.
Cheers Wayne

Really like what you did with the filler cap... Damn you for making me want to do that to mine, though! Lol

 

[phat13]

Thank you men
The brown is a RR colour,think its called walnut,it's the mat clear that makes it tho.

Dude the filler cap was from flee bay, comes with the neck to,it's just a Motorsport filler.

It's just another detail that makes the difference

Cheers Wayne

 

[phat13]

Mr two smoker, , wanted something a bit different like an old brass cap or something but I could never seem to find out,
This was my next option, the only issue is I need to drill a tiny vent hole in the center,part from that it works well
Thank you buddy

If you dont want to run a long breather tube they make small breather tops for dirt bikes to make it easy to pull the gas cap off and not have to mess with a long tube .

 

[phat13]

Mr dread,
Cheers buddy,ill keep that in mind if I do get any probs.
I love the cap an want to keep it as it is if I can.,
My dads old triumph has a small vent hole , suppose its got like a anti splash kinda thing in the cap tho ???
Cheers buddy

Love the wheels. Excellent work.

Hello chaps

So I have been making a few seat units in carbon,but!

Wet lay with carbon is hard work, I need a vac pump to get the best results but I've had fun trying.
I will paint the seat unit but I'm going to leave some carbon on show, the whole seat in carbon is too much.

Oh an I now have a front tyre fitted , happy days 8)

Cheers Wayne
