Good luck with that one. I've only ever seen them on the German
site, you might try there.

I've started the new air intakes but seeing as there's no EOD
this year their on hold and I'm working on my new bike a Harley
Davidson Fat Bob and before you go oh no not a bloody Harley you
have to try one, it's the most fun Harley they have produced so
far, 1886cc and actually handles!!! very close to the MT but a
more relaxed seating position. The standard bike is bloody ugly
in my view but I'm remedying that :)
Some pics of the original and my version. Ignore the back rest
it's just a place holder until I get proper upholsterer to make
it. More parts being made which will eventually be in CF once I
master the bloody art :)

I'm not a great harley fan but that looks the business i even
like the exhaust ,have you managed to get good results cf
without an autoclave as most parts i have seen without this tend
to be disappointing

I wasn't a fan of this particular model till I road it but it
always puts a smile on my face.
On the CF molding I'm taking things very slowly. I'm first
increasing my mold making skills and I've realised my molds need
to be much better for a true pro component. I believe I'll be
able to get a successful part if I pay attention to detail and
don't rush it. I'm starting off with bits for the Harley before
I tackle my new MT air intakes. I'll keep you tabbed on my
progress. Could be a long road :)

OK I give in, Derek you were right, I cannot get anywhere near
the quality needed for Carbon Fibre without buying all the gear.
The suppliers have wonderful videos but I'm not sure they're
showing true end products of hand lay work. I'm a real detail
person following their instructions to the letter but I just
couldn't get rid of all the entrapped air. My stuff looked good
from a few feet away but close up there were many imperfections.
Oh hum :(
