Get some fibreglass cloth and practice with that,loads cheaper.

Lay cloth on plastic sheets for impregnating with resin,use a spreader to work resin in then lift whole-plastic and reinforcement cloth- to your former and drape.
you can use masking tape on cut edges to hold cloth together until you get resin on,this stops cloth falling apart.once the cloth is properly wetted the tape will come off.

Thanks for the detailed reply Richard! I thought those headers looks coated. Nice.
Good luck with your composites. Battyone is bang on with his comments regarding de-gassing, it's been a problem for boat builders for quite some time.
For messing about with carbon and epoxy, you realy need a vac pump.

Regarding the wavey discs, I spoke to the Guys who have been making the brake parts for my car project last week, they also do stuff for Moto GP and BSB, and as I suspected they can't see why there would be any advantage with them.

I would rather believe those Guys than the marketing video.

Oh and I got to ride my bike for the first time.
First impression, loads of torque, nice. Second impression, fook! The brakes are crap!

Regards,
Mick.

Sorry for not responding sooner .... your reply slipped in under my radar.

Anyhow, thanks for your comments. Your twin disk setup looks great.

I'm assuming that a single disk setup ( as standard ) imposes a slight twisting force on the front wheel under braking which is not normally a problem when tootling along fully upright and in a straight line but can be an issue when cranked over under very heavy braking?

PS - I once grabbed a handful on ice but, thankfully, she missed me with both punches and neither she nor the ice rink owner insisted on pressing charges.

I think the Italians are discussing it too:
