Hi from South Africa

Hi everyone

Found the site after doing reseach on the web, like most I guess.

Just so much information out there but trying to decipher what’s relevant and what’s not takes time, time, time and there’ just not enough hours in a day anymore.

From Durban South Africa, pilot by trade, so not much experience with composites except for patching my surfboard and the odd canoe in the old days :D.

Have started a storage pod for my motorcyle which goes under the seat, which unfortunately is a complicated shape and is going to need three moulds to complete the mod. Not the ideal start for the first time at making a mould but have set my mind to it and with some expert advice I’m hoping I can manage.

My bike is an XT660Z Tenere that has no storage under the seat at all, so plan to add a 8cu litre storage pod. The pod will use the space that the stock exhaust box used. After fitting Akrapovics it made this space availabe.

Would really appreciate any tips and advice.
Here are a few pics of when I started and where I am at the moment.
