White is good.  Black gets really hot here.  I used WEST epoxy/microballons for fairing and got scared of the whole thing softening up on me.  The reflective red tape stripe down the center and the white numberboard sides dropped the surface temperature down.  Live and learn.

That looks great!!   [thumbsup]

A few years ago, I bought a few fiberglass supplies.  I'd sure like to use them in the spring.

+1 for a tutorial.

P.S. Raleigh got snow yesterday!

Looks really good!  [thumbsup] [thumbsup]



Now to match the point that the cowl has at the end, you might consider putting a 1098 tail light on there. Pennyrobber did that to his and I always thought it was a neat look - but it would really compliment your cowl nicely.
