I though I'd make a few carbon protectors

I wanted to protect both of the side engine casings, especially the left side that gets scuffed from changing gear, so I though I'd make a few carbon fibre protectors and while I was at it, I made some for the swingarm, exhaust and frame - now I just have to find the time to make fork protectors...

Hi Pommie good looking guards there mate . Just wondering how the carbon fibre was to work with ? Also did U get it local as in Newcastle ?
thought of having a play with the carbon fibre for various things, looks good.
Cheers

I used to buy it local but it is now around $70 per meter, so I now get it from hobby king at around $25. It is pretty much like using fibreglass but you have to pay attention to the finish and quality of you mould. And if using poliester resin it really needs clear coating- I use two-pack.
If you need any advice I'm happy to help just pm and I'll give you my mobile. Good
luck
