You told me it couldn't be done

My old Gs 1000 used to have a round stick on piece that covered the outside circle .I'm thinking a round carbon piece .With me ?

I made a circle in carbon , surprisingly easy .Unfortunately the "look" didn't work and from distance looks like a hole .


Which left me playing with a nice circle.
Track day speedo cover maybe (will need holes for warning lights ) . Maybe not .


This one had me looking twice though .
Normal


Impractical i know , but a bit of stick on velcro ??

You could probably sell your speedo cover as a "bike cam license retainer"

Engine cover hole and tank opening is probably a no from me. Nice try though

Pull the speedo apart and put that carbon fibre behind the dials

When I spoke about an S on the side cover you could also look at doing the inverse of this

Gus, you seen this lot?

That pic is pure motorcycle porn xxx rated now that would be on my buy list if it was ever released with a bit of an update not too much though

I'll take Gus's sprocket cover thanks. Stickers always look like stickers.

Now this IS a hugger, after carbon treatment .

I couldn't really see from the other pix what this is attached to or what it started life as?
Can we have a bit more detail please :-)

Hey Gusie, Does it ad much weight to the parts?

So little added weight i carnt tell the differance "in the hand "Only 1 layer of carbon , thats the hard bit ,not to sand through it as its so thin .
Simply bolts to the swingarm .Very close fit for the bandit but i lost interest .

I took a number a couple of weeks ago

Not yet but mail has been real slow .

Gus, that is some pretty darn classy stuff. Seriously think about broadening your market. I think you are on to a real winner as I have not seen anyone else doing this. Well done.

Hi Gus - your work looks pretty good so far:



I am wondering with these boot protectors, will there be wear through the carbon with time, my current ones have a fairly polished scuff mark from years of wear:

Love my carboned chrome bits mate. Wow.

wonder if i'd get better mileage by fitting that rear tyre, handling would be interesting though

Excuse me if this carbon thing is getting stale but today i decided to do my exhaust . This can was (is) polished stainless painted black .
It had a fair dent in it also . I covered it today in carbon and LAM resin (stays sticky ) then i realized i was out of resin to finish it off .
I have high hopes on this one .Simple shape no lumps and bumps .(and not a cone shape ) I'll take it to work with me tomorrow and
"do a foreigner ". Have no idea how it will handle the heat .
