Your carbon isn't getting stale mate.
I'm very envious of your skills.

Not a bad look for a old, cut down, dented stainless muffler.

actually that's not bad at all - how much for a hugger if i post it up [it's plastic and flexes though - is that bad?]

Probably about $50 .As long is it doest feel like an ice- cream bucket(kind of slimey ) it will be o.k. Mash .


How it used to be

that matches in great Gus

Hope it does'nt Blister !

Is there no stopping Gus and his amazing carbon? My chromed airfilter sidecovers had the Gus treatment. They look so good. Great job mate.

OOOOh they do look nice . I now realize a cone is not my favorite shape to glass .
This want easy either .

I agree with 4 Wheels again Gus, time to grow your business and do the FZ1s as well, I will still order some CF for the Bandit though, they look the ducks guts mate.

Thanks .I'll do anything ,running a bit short at the moment .

Gus,

What are your thoughts on 3M DiNoc Carbon Fiber Vinyl?

I've got some soft areas like heel guards I'd like to cover. I was told that the hard 'real' Carbon Fibre heel guards tend to be brittle and I know of one guys who's have chipped on the edges. I value your thoughts.

I watched a couple of YouTube videos - in one they covered a Mini, in another they did a helmet. It looked impressive. Nowhere near as nice as your work though

My Carbon by Gus Sprocket Cover
Nice job Gus

Don't know the 3m stuff .There are more holes than metal in the heal guards .At first i painted mine black and it never wore through .
Hard to get a good shot of the carbon sprocket cover isn't it .Being so shinny it gets distorted.

It is. I wheeled the bike around a bit trying to get it right and finished up back in the garage for the pic
Deciding whats next to get the Gus treatment

That's it. I'm more than happy with the Bandit the way it is. If I wasn't I wouldn't have bought it. If I wanted a bike with more power, better brakes, better suspension etc, I would have bought a bike with more power, better brakes, better suspension etc.

When the time comes to start spending money on the bike to 'freshen' it up, I'll probably just replace the entire bike.



And herein lies my theory 100% Obviously your theory has now changed, or your idea of freshen up does not include 'carbon covered bits' lol

Sooner be one of them than a hypocrite and here endeth the lesson as in it always catches up with ya

P.S. nice job on the carbon bit Gus ,,,,

Is this carrying over from the FB group? Seriously?

What most people don't realise is that everything can be improved with Carbon Fibre.

Here we see Gus modelling his latest improvement to the "STOP" sign at work.

Poor Gus!. Looks like he's rubbed the left side of his head along the road too many times. Very clever though. Well done.

I'll take the camera to work tomorrow .Cedar Creek Road .I had an in-depth conversation for over an hour with a horse today .Bit of a know it all
but likable .

And that BAT is not the legal 1,800 mm height .Thats a reprimand.

So that`s what happened to Mr Ed .

Must not give in ................... and send my Barkbusters to ................. Gus.

Ever since Full Throttle asked me about carbon on air box ends i have been looking at mine .You only see a small amount but the effort
to remove the air box and refit turned me off the idea .Since it is made of the plastic that doesn't stick well to glass i decided to use it as a mold
since the carbon doesn't stick to it .I lay ed 2 layers of carbon over it ,popped it off ,trimmed and polished it. The idea is to just stick it on if it looks o.k .

Ran out of daylight for a fitted shot .
