You know, I never would have thought to use my vacuum table and kydex like that, but maybe I'll look into adding some desert sand or olive green to my bike.Decided to vacuum form some carbon fiber patterned thermoplastics around my heel guards. Came out pretty nice on the first attempt.
how do you do this,
looks great

He has a vacuum table and is using a thermoplastic to make these materials. You place the item to be formed onto the table, heat up the thermoplastic (kydex usually, sometimes ABS or other plastics), place them on top of the part and then turn on the vacuum. This allows for a molded appearance that you can then layer over the top of the part on the bike, protecting the finish on the part but also imparting customization on your bike.Looks great! How do you do the vacuum form process and what is the material you used?
It's also worth looking at fitting a shield in the front of the engine, quite a few on here myself included have done it, an old number plate works a treat.Another view regarding rusty plugs and coils.
I noticed last year that a couple of plugs had very slightly rusted, and as my bike is garaged and rarely left outside, I assumed it was due to rain coming up from the front wheel, rather than rain running down from the tank. This was further reinforced by the amount of road debris atop the engine.
I fitted a fender extender over the winter and have just come back from 9 days in France, including some rain and wet road riding. The spray around and above the exhaust manifold is undoubtedly far far less now that I have the extender in place. I’m confident that come plug change time this will make difference.
Or rear brake usageThanks for the picture of the rear rotor.
I very recently had the rear pads changed...on my third set of pads now counting the original pads...usually, the ratio is about six to one six pads to one rotor.
Perhaps it's me. As we have lotsa gravel at intersections and when making a 90 degree turn, definitely a time to exercise diligence or you'll get the surprise of your life.
