Today I've been busy - I've been making rear wheel skirts/fairings.

First of all I made a cardboard template.


Then used some more of my acrylic plastic sheeting, cut out using the template with lots of spare around the edge.


Then I used a heatgun what I purchased this morning to bend around some edges and flare it out a bit for fitting round the tyres.


Here it is moulded and in position.


Then I got to cutting out one for the other side.


And some wider shots so you can see what's what.






Now the paint is drying and I'll fit the brackets in a couple of hours
