Been umming and ahhing about a cowling for a while now. I really like the 666, but it's a bit small and mum wouldn't like it
So I thought I might make my own.
Started with a sheet of blue foam
After ten minutes with a saw
Half an hour with some 60 grit
Shaped the base piece
A bit of Spakfilla
Just needs to be glassed/filled/sanded/filled/sanded/filled/sanded etc and I might get something like
Thinking about a mouth/teeth for the base...if I can find my airbrush
That's looking great already Large, it'll make a real mean/aggressive unit when you finish it, it kinda looks like it's scowling already. [}]
Michelangelo eat your heart out
Looks great, sort of like a helmet but with a bike personality.
Top effort Large. Too many people, (myself included), choose to buy a light/cowling assembly. To make your own shows a real commitment to having a custom fighter.
Keep up the good work!

Im speechless!!!! love stuff done at home..... looks great... finish it!!!
seems a shame you had to sacrifice your surf board Lardge,but that is very creative.
lol
I'm just starting. Going for a paper mache tank and a macrame seat cover.
Got a great idea for the pipe too
I have no idea why but it reminds me of Dr.Teeth in it's current colours:
but I like it and love the "Did it in my garage" factor.
Nice one Large, you have now got me thinking about making up my own tail piece to use as a base for some fibreglass, no idea about fibreglassing but I am sure I can work it out
Si vis pacem, para bellum
I picked up a slightly scratched pipe to chop into a shorty at the wreckers today...might go back for the dented tank tomorrow so i can go full stealth black.[8D]
Who thinks this is too short? Can a pipe ever be too short?
perfect size mate
looking good <s>fuckfac</s>large
love the headlight idea, sweet
a bit itchy after all that fuckin about with the foam?? [xx(]
hows it going to mount, hangers to the light and then bolt the upper and lower to the light itself?
Rev the fucker!!!!!
probably going to use your alloy mounts method to a sheet of alloy strategically bent to supprt the lights an instruments then the glass bits should just screw onquote:Originally posted by fimpBIKES
