serpentracer Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 lol, dude... what will you do if in the future everything is production carbon fiber?Buy plastic after market parts?Don't worry, by then the carbon would all be painted so we can't see it.that's not going to happen. for one it's too expensive.a small sheet of it is over $60. it's not even enough to make 1/2 of a lower faring. and you will need at least 2 layers to make a faring.so a lower just the carbon matting alone will cost you $480. now you need a gallon of resin at the tune of $100.

Zach Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 you do realize that it doesn't cost that much when you buy large quantities, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattKatz Posted February 17, 2010 Report Share Posted February 17, 2010 Its still Expensive to buy....I have been dabbling in making my own stuff for a little while now...Wait until you guys see a Totally new CF idea I came up with....I am either gonna make waves.....or have one hell of a belly flop with it.I am hoping it turns out good.

serpentracer Posted February 18, 2010 Report Share Posted February 18, 2010 (edited) you do realize that it doesn't cost that much when you buy large quantities, right?yeah but you have to buy several hundred dollars worth if you want bigger pieces of it. like this 5 yrd roll, in my experience making my own farings, it's not enough to build one lower on a motorcycle.http://www.fibreglast.com/product/3K_Plain_Weave_Carbon_Fiber_Fabric_00530/Carbon_Fiberdon't forget your resinhttp://www.fibreglast.com/product/System_2000_Epoxy_Resin_2000/Epoxy_Resinsand the hardener for it,http://www.fibreglast.com/product/2060_Epoxy_Hardener_2060/Epoxy_Resinsand unless you have a vacuum bagging system it won't be like real carbon fiber..the pumps for that start around $400 for a small one.http://www.fibreglast.com/product/Vacuum_Bagging_Starter_Kit_00888_A/Vacuum_Bagging_Pumps Edited February 18, 2010 by serpentracer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benyen Soljax Posted April 19, 2010 Report Share Posted April 19, 2010 Mattkatz: Did you weigh the stock fairings vs. the CF ones? I would be interested to see the weight savings. Also, where did you get your parts from, and are you satisfied with the quality? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
