| the hardtail project is on hold for a little while while i wait for the exhuast and motor parts. so i started to get going on some other stuff.
Long story short i feel like i want to pretty much remake the world in CF now as many of my other projects have now sucked up much of my time with it but i just got onto remaking some of the ZB body work in Carbon. Last night I pulled my first tail cowl out of the mold. below are some pictures of it untrimmed and unfinished. Just two more pieces of body work to complete then I can finally get the bike painted. more info on the carbon stuff can be found on my blog at [url="http://honda50.com/?p=191"]www.honda50.com[/url]



Here are some pics from today after some clean up work and the mounting bracket was finished. I didnt like the old style mount that had a bolt going up through the center of the cowl, so i bonded in a bolt to the underside and made up a bracket out of fiber glass. Now all the mounting is hidden.


My neighbor had his small frame vespa out so i dragged it over for a few shots.

the nose cowl is off for the time being cause im in the process of making a mold for it.

For everything that is made illegal in CA there is a loophole to the law. As for the 2strokes, yes they very much so limit what a manufacturer can sell as a new bike. Good thing all the really cool vespas are old. The vespa is not mine, its my neighbors from across the road. 135cc in a small frame. |
