KnucklezX Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 Does anyone know where I can find carbon fiber bodywork for a "97 XX? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartonmd Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 "search" Nobody makes them. Some people have talked about learning CF and making them themselves, but nothing materialized. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FloridaSilverBird Posted June 20, 2006 Share Posted June 20, 2006 I've only found one place to get them and they put you on a 8-9+ month waiting list. Alternatively, you can pay me to make them for you I've ordered materials and will be making my first set (starting with the upper, lowers, and maybe the front fender) within a month or so.

TOXXIC Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 Not to be a doubter, but hopefully the molds come out better than the tire patch kit. Just mess'n with you, seems like you've made alot of progress around bikes in the past year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I admit I didn't know jack crap about motorcycles, or even cars for that matter when I first got into bikes. Owning an XX and just plain old being FSB has allowed me to get pretty intimate with my bike so i've learned quite a lot and have enjoyed every minute of it. I'll also be sure to get complete instructions on mold construction before I walk into my garage and find that I melted my fairings I've also always been a bit of an artist and now that I have a Fever, and the only perscription is Carbon Fiber, I think it would be great to get into working with composites. I'll keep you all posted on how my projects turn out with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter9495 Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 This is the only place i know of but good luck trying to get them Carbon Blackbird body parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Krypt Keeper Posted June 21, 2006 Share Posted June 21, 2006 FSB I use to worked with CF and fiberglass at a shop for 3 yrs.. If you got any questions or anything drop me a PM. I personally wouldn't waste my time and money on making plugs, molds and stuff for one set CF bodywork... Good luck though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is my hope to be able to produce more than my own set of bodyparts. A Blackbird probably isn't the best to do it with because few people have one, but thats the bike I have so we'll see how it goes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
