Well I'm actually making some progress on my Vetter fairing project. Mostly through the winter I gathered some supplies and tools. But now with the warmer weather here in Michigan, (for the time being anyway) I can do some fiberglass work.
I made a form (with some help from a couple of my scooter pals) to make the top and bottom half cone parts for the rear fairing "fin". The sides will be flat fiberglass slabs.
Interesting thing is the top has a layer of carbon fiber. (From an ebay deal) I pull it from the mold on Thursday. It will be interesting to see how my first ever composite part comes out. Hope it works well because I plan to make a bunch of them. (though not all of them with carbon fiber) I also have some Kevlar fabric I may try some time later as well. I can glass in some stiffeners to the inside later if needed.
I still need to glass the nose halves together, but I wanted to get this part done while I had the chance. I still have several smaller things to do but they can wait while I get the big parts done. Things are finally moving along.
My pals will help me put together some videos and pictures to post some place when I'm done.
