looking good mate and if you want good lights you are better off buying projectors you can get hella ones for about $90 each i think from memory and they are easy to mount

I thought i'd have a crack at maybe making my own headlight, seen as though all the headlights i'd consider buying from various places around the world are priced from $450 to $700, I was considering trying to make a mould and having a crash course in fibre glassing.. so to kick things off i spent a whopping $35 at office works on 2kgs of white plasticine and some shaping tools.. bear in mind I HAVE NEVER DONE THIS BEFORE.. so this is my first attempt.. comments welcome..
Use to do all that crap as a job, need any help you got my e-mail..
Ahh cheers mate might look into thems..quote:Originally posted by BANDITROD

this is the unit i desperately want but at nearly $500, funds arent allowing at the moment, missus just lost her job.. so its plastecine time..
Postman came today, 2003 R1 Black forks, i was going to go later model with radials but funds wouldn't permit
at the moment so i'm happy with 03 set.. think i might paint the calipers gloss black too, i'm not a fan of the blue dot on them..
Great nick, only mark on them was this and i'll tidy that up in no time...

got another oil pump cover to paint, and a new stator cover.. just trying to freshin it up a little..
did you want em mate?
Any progress on that lamp unit fella? Interesting stuff.
so far not much mate, I'm going to take lights off the R1 and mount a board on there and try and construct it from scratch i think, bit like below... this one is of the Showyomoto boys making the Iron Man headlight.. no harm in trying, if it worked for them hey..quote:Originally posted by CBRRRT

You been put on hold for a while? bummer man...
With ya headlight project you could shape it out of foam, then glass it, dig the foam out of the back and that way you don't have to worry about a mould.. just think'in out loud. and I resized my foto's
Cheers.
Bike was down on the left side when i got it, and the marks are pretty deep. How bad is yours? and how much do u want for it? Also how much was the gasket for it?quote:Originally posted by Gitzy

Yeah sucks a little mat, but we'll get back on our feet (hopefully), and its go time..
Man I really really just want to buy the light I want but at nearly $500 I'll give anything a shot.. not sure i'm confident with either method (foam or plasticine) still got lots of edumaciting to do.. but i'll be winging it i think.. need to do more research.. do you know if you can just buy little fibreglass kits?? and were do i get some of this foam? cheers mate..
Mines not in the best shape either Jules, but your welcome to have it and give it a spray with maybe some putty and paint.. I just took easy option and got new one.. theres some nice billet ones on fleabay too.. My gasket was $8 from Us i think but i got it with all my other clutch parts and gaskets.. here i think there about $19. When I replace the cover, pm me your address and i'll send the cover to you if its in better shape use it if not bin it.. no good to me..quote:Originally posted by wackyrider

Hey, any of the surfboard shops, i'm talking about where they make'em not where you buy'em should be able to help you out with resin and glass, they may not have chopstrand, just 4oz or 6oz. Also foam, just ask if they have any nose or tail offcuts, they get them all the time and there should be some that you could use. If you can't get any, let me know and i'll post one down.
Cheers.
Nothing major.. but mailman came today with my 01 Swingarm in heaaaps better nick than the one i got.. mines got a little dint on one brace and a gouge on one of the welds and im a fussy fooker so i found this on US ebay $80, granted $120 shipping but $200 for a mickey mouse swinger im rather chuffed, all the parts are starting to pile up, need to start working on her i think..
good score gitzy
