Default More Carbon Fiber Projects.....>>

Been a little remiss at experimenting with the Vacuum bagger. Finally got around to working on the side covers of the Bike. Found a weave to match the mufflers....Coming along OK..

In the bag with vacuum:

Raw, just out of the bag with Release film still attached:

Trimmed and water rinsed. Still needs clear coating for depth and finish:

Where they're gonna go:

Default I can envision a CF cover for the intake tubes to the TTDA...

or better, a CF intake tube that encompasses both intakes and fills the void of available space as it leads to the fender opening. ;-) (patent pending ZGTT) LOL

I'll use a frozen one next time!

It's not all that difficult with this and the right films, carbon and epoxy:
