vinniefranco said:WOW. This is what I am talking about. Your attention to detail on the cowl nothing short of amazing.
It looks like it belongs on this bike and it ties the bike completely together. Not just a set of bolted on components. Brilliant man. Keep it up!

I was thinking about using that clay when I made my last seat but couldn't find any locally. Is there a specific name on it? Expensive?
quach said:I'm not sure what the name of the Industrial clay I'm using on my seat is, it's a Japanese brand that Toyota uses and the labels are all in Japanese. I have used two other brands called Chavant and Faber, our school sells Faber and it works really well. Faber is what BMW uses. I'm not sure where you can purchase some, I get my clay from school or the occasional donation from car companies. The clay is definitely pricey, about 10 dollars a billet, but for a seat you will probably only need about 3-5 billets.
If you can't find any, I can probably pick up a few billets from school and ship them out to you if you want.
Keep in mind you need to purchase some specialized tools (pricey) to work with this clay, and it's definitely got a learning curve to using it.
