Re: Carbon!
My poison's a tub of Zymol these days CarlosPS. when Craig gets out of the cleaning re-hab tell him I'm back, love to have another pint or two of brasso with that guy
Had to fake a name change to avoid the chaps in white coats, apparently too much Meguiars inhilation is bad for you. Bike's looking fabulous as ever, what've you got planned next for it? (Rick Oliver supplies stainless rads these days which could look trick - might consider a pair for myself).

Re: Carbon!
Guess who? well it all makes sense now anyway mate long time and hope you are keeping well! :) Nice bikes by the way, last time I was on the site your NC was minolta colours, sorry for the absence but the white coats caught up with me too. What do I have planned next? well those rads sound fab, also thinking for a winter project about doing a proper race style seat unit (RVF suzuka style, with proportions to suit the NC35) based around one of Ricks' neat subframes. In the short term I just wanna finish the thing and ride it this summer, currently working on a carbon front fender, an evo version of the motoGP one I designed (will post pics hopefully tomorrow). Oh, and don't forget I still have a light unit belonging to you

Re: Carbon!
Here we go, just trimmed and polished. Sun was a bit bright to do it real justice but I'll take some pics later fitted on the bike.

Re: Carbon!
Thanks and yes, it's for an RVF. Was very tricky to make as many compound curves. This was modelled from scratch, so loads of work doing plug and mould, but seems to have turned out alright.

Re: Carbon!
Nice work Carlos, that front guard looks sweet.
I'm sure that you could make a few quid by selling them now you have the mould sorted.
