Bored, so I made some carbon...

[hypurone]

YEAH!  How hard can it be?!   

Uh Oh, see what I've started...

+1 on carbon airbox.  I have a 2005 S4r and would like one ASAP.  How does Friday sound?  good!

Maybe over the winter I'll take on a project like that.  Either something like the airbox, or something like a fuel tank.

Camera is supposed to be out of the shop on Friday

I'm currently making a fiberglass breather box to replace the stocker, so I can fit a 999 shock on my bike.  I may end up just welding one out of aluminum, but I like the lightweight idea first.

[c_rex]

bah... don't bother with the fuel tank.  not only can you get one as a DP part but the amount of engineering and fabrication would be much greater than a simple airbox.  and nobody else makes those- at least not for the S4RS.

Anyone have a spare airbox laying around?  I'll take a swing at it. 

I don't mind using my own, but I'm having to much fun riding the bike to take it apart.


Since we're here, I'm also looking for side panels without the decal "plaque" like on my bike.  I'm going to mold/make those as well, but I'd rather just have them plain instead of making them with a raised area.

I know they are already available, but I'm going to do mine from a carbon/kevlar weave, with the kevlar dyed red.  Should compliment the frame nicely without being overboard.  Same with the heel guards. 

I'd like to find a front fairing (stock) as well to do that.  There are carbon ones on ebay I could buy/make a mold, resell CF part, but it's be nice not having to dish out $400 for one

[hypurone]

Mebbe there is someone on the board that has already yanked their airbox for pods or ??  I will check with my dealer to see if they have a take-off or a damaged one (but still intact for the most part). The other choice is to take up a collection to buy a used one somewhere, mebbe motored-sports has one??

Thoughts?

Still looking for one, and still waiting on my fooking camera...

im designing a ram air - air box. Once the plug is done ill make the mold from glass. Then i got to shell out some cash on some 2x2 twill. I think its going to be pretty neat.

I was doing a little reasearch on DIY CF the other day myself and I found a pretty good article here.
