Before a couple of weeks a customer send me all the plastic parts of SUZUKI HAYABUSA 2012 to make them in carbon fiber. I have already start the progress for molds and really take a lot of time to create them:(.

The parts are:

[ul]
[li]Headlight
[/li][li]Front hugger
[/li][li]rear hugger
[/li][li]Side panels
[/li][li]Fairings
[/li][li]Tank
[/li][li]Rear tail
[/li][li]Tank covers
[/li][li]Rear seat cover
[/li][/ul]

Below you can see some of the finished parts starting from Front hugger:

Oh geez, not ANOTHER motorcycle! People like George_grat are a terrible influence on me, I just want to go buy a motorcycle and ride! Did that once with horrible results, pretty lucky that I’m not permanently disabled.

Great work George. These parts look too good. Make them worse so I’m not tempted to kill myself on a bike.

I was wondering what tools you use to trim the part after you remove it from the mould?

I have 3 different dremel tools:

Simple dremel
kress 1050 fme-1 PLUS Flexible Shaft
Air die grinder
