Hey that Hot glue is now cold glue and its some potent stuff. I think it will hold fine.......until I crank the bike.
well I have to go cut out some eccentrics now. Bye.
Oh ya I also got some TFC carbon fiber yesterday. Not sure what I want to make out of it yet. Any Ideas?
TFC stands for Thermo Formable Composite. So I can't use it for anything that will see over 300 degrees f.

is it a flat sheet? or just the cloth and you have to add the hardener? how would you mold it? i can think of a bunch of carbon fiber goodies to make just to sure of you would go about it. pics are always helpful |

Yes its flat sheet. Its medical stuff used to make insoles and braces. You heat it to 350 degrees, form it. Let it cool. Then heat to 425 in a vaccume to bond multiple layers, if your using layers. It cant be used to make very complex shapes like conventional CF. |

No I dont have a fender, thats a very good suggestion. This stuff is rather thick. Im thinking about the fork tube protectors similar to a Hypermotard. |

Would you do a separate mounting bracket or try to make it out of the same piece of CF like the ones on the hyper? |

Well honestly im contemplating making new fork lowers for the RC 51 fork to mount the Buell ZTL caliper. Im not sure if Im good enough to make them though. But If I do I can make any kind of fender mounts that I like.

Truly a great thread!! Great work on everything.  The only other person I've met that's this creative and capable is Duck-Stew. Keep up the good work and I can't wait to see the finished product. So far it sounds like it's gonna be one of the most custom Monsters I've ever seen. |

well at the moment the motor mounts, the part the bolt goes through, is only mild steel. Im waiting on getting some 4130 to make them out of.
