By popular demand, I am going to dust off my composites stuff and turn out some more parts.

I have pretty much the entire month of June free (no kowleg because of a NG skewl in july) so I need something to keep me busy.

I will need to make a new mold for the 89-01 race tail, the old one is worn out, but I should be able to do new style street tail sections pretty soon.

Also carbon fiber has gotten stupid expensive (its all going into making military gear and aircraft) so the parts will be aircraft grade "E-glass" fiberglass.  I might be able to do a surface layer of CF if you've GOTTA HAVE it. But I don't even know how much it will be yet.

BTW- missed you guys.  :cheers:

Count me in for one in the future if the price doesn't go too high. . If you need any help, let me know I studied Industrial design and would love to learn more about makeing molds and such. (I'm sure you won't need the hel though, your old tails were awesome).

Dang James it has been a long time, I was wondering what you were up to.

I am finally getting back around to finishing the 01+ race tail, now that I need one.

Iraq sucks. Not even a nice place to visit, sure as hell wouldn't want to live there.

Price will stay the same $150 & shipping but for E-glass with maybe some kevlar for damage resistance.

Did anyone ever get around to making a solo seat cover for the GS?

There have been 2 that I know of. One was a recent post from what I recall.

are you doing these Pre-Preg or a Wet Lay-up?

Male or Female Mold?  And what did you use for a mold?

Hang out there, we may flame, but we don't hate.

My attitude is in serious need of readjustment, and I'm ok with that.
