Re: CARBON FIBRE
good stuff, although thats one of the easiest parts....
sit the cowl on the rear seat fairing to match the weave pattern. the next easy part is the nose/headlight surround, the area around the sidelight is tricky tho. also the two infill panels that the front indis attach to are easy enough, i also did my airscoops and my tailtidy, plus the rear of my numberplate because it was on show......
you'll get quicker with practice, heat is your friend....
more pictures please.....

Re: CARBON FIBRE
I do like the Chrome look. Good job on the wrap for you first attempt. Keep it up.

Re: CARBON FIBRE
Thanks for all the positive comments, I think it looks pretty good just a few small imperfections! Here's a photo of what I managed to get done today before having to go to work, if you look closely at the front mudguard you can see some creases, so depending on how much wrap I have left at the end, I may re-do this but I think it looks ok. I'm going to try and do one side of the fairing later today so wish me luck!!
And yes, before anyone says it, I know the forks don't go as they are gold but this is going to be a future task!

Re: CARBON FIBRE
i think the forks look ok against the carbon wrap, good luck with the main fairing, remember to match the weave pattern of the headlight surround......

Re: CARBON FIBRE
Looks good Shame about the miss hap but with this being your first attempt I wouldn't get down about it. We all live and learn. Be good to see it all finished
I wondered about doing this to the frame and swing arm but I don't trust myself enough to try it
