good stuff, although thats one of the easiest parts.... :lol:
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...... :lol:
you'll get quicker with practice, heat is your friend.... :thumbup:
more pictures please..... :wink:

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! :lol:

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...... :thumbup:

Looks good :thumbup: 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 :thumbup:

I wondered about doing this to the frame and swing arm but I don't trust myself enough to try it :?
