I should email you a pic of the FZ side panels.
What are you using to stick these ends on with Gus?

Siklaflex works well .Sticks but not permanent .

I made a mould of the air box ends L and Right .So if anyone wants any i can post them down as i'm making a couple extra .$50 includes postage
for L and R .(2 layers of carbon on each )

You have got my interest with these

It might be a PITA but the upper part of the side panel looks lost now Gus.

Talking about APITA i spent all day (raining ) working on the air box end moulds .No problem with the moulds but 2 layers of carbon is as thick
as 2 pieces of paper .When you try and take them off the mould any resistance deforms them .Threw away 5 pieces today ,thats 10 pieces of
carbon . No good making them thicker (stronger) as they will stand to tall .
In the end never got it right and ran out of carbon .Time for a re-think or a better mould release .

Why does the carbon not stick to the air box when it sticks to other plastic?
Maybe I miss understood but if someone sends you an air box can you carbon the ends?

Some plastric has fiberglass fibers in it .(side covers ) Some doesnt (air box ) If its flexy its a warning .

Where is the old mans hand pointing at stuff?
What are we looking at Gus?

I dont really know and i'm sworn to secrecy .I'm working on a few parts for someone making something special .Hopefully when its finished he will
post a few pics up .Or better still before its finished .

I commented to Carol today that i had run out of parts to "carbonize ". She said next i'll be doing the toilet seat .I kept thinking about what she had said .

For decades women have complained that we leave the toilet seat up, right . .Most guys like carbon fiber ,right .
How about a carbon toilet lid , just the top in carbon .Men would close the lid and complain if it wasnt ,win,win . Any Good.
Now i can make them ,anyone any good at marketing ?

You can get a lid kit from Bunnings for about $9 I reckon you should do a couple and flog them on eBay.

The air box ends Gus look the goods. Problem is the K6 airbox is a different shape. Are you willing to do these ones?
The genuine Suzuki single seat cowl I have needs carbonising.
Did you get any of the gold coloured CF, Gus?

Hi Gus, what would the approx $ on doing a givi luggage insert (where the silver bit is in the pic)

About $150 for 2 .Bit hard to judge the size but its more the shape that makes it cost more .They look no problem .

can you PM me the address I should send these to Gus
I can still use the panniers while the inserts are at your place

Very nice, Gus.
