Default Carbon Fiber Project Underway

So I've got lot's of modifications in the works the winter. Not the least of which to nakedify the fizzer. I have an FZ1N headlight bracket coming in next week to see if I can get it to fit.

Another mod is to do some cf wrapping to match the leos. Here are a couple of shots of the side panels after the first epoxy wet today. Bought a 1 yard roll of cf from US Composites: CARBON FIBER - GRAPHITE - KEVLAR and used West System Epoxy and hardener. Kind of a pain because of the wierd shape. We'll see how it comes out after a few coats and UV and clear coat. If it works I may also do the seat cowl.
