carbon fibre ttr raid

Just had so much spare time on my hands recently with the flooding and that, so this is how I spent it. This is a Carbon wet film wrap. It took 2 days to do and the stickers I got the local shop to dye cut them. I had the petrol tank's inside bottom half cut out  and pieced and welded because it was leaking and when I sanded it all back it looked like someone had shot it with a blunderbust.   Gotta change the fork boots, the pro taper chest gaurd and add a swing arm grapfic and some fork decals too. Sorry if the black and orange offends you true blue guys but it's done now......

Daz.

HI Brian.
Yes the bike was in bits around the upstairs of the house for a week, then they clossed the local canal flood gates and the water subsided over the next week so . Then I got bored and decided while I was off work for the last 2 months, it's time to do something with the plastics. I so this little scooter with a corbon wrap and bingo there was the answer.
The water had subsided to about 18 inches, but low and behold they opened the flood gates up yesterday so we are upto about 2 ft again and rising. So bored... Englands looking rosey at the moment, havn't been home in ten years.

Looks ace! How's the water level now? Perhaps a flotation device could be next on the list...

That looks great

I was thinking of going to a Black/Orange/White layout myself but I think I'll do a different colour scheme now, I was thinking of some really vibrant colours, somethink that will really stand out

I particualrly like the matt black tank though, I may go all matt

I'll pick up some cast vinyl next time I'm at the sign shop and see what I can come up with

Are you going to change the gaiters ?  I would go KTM orange blankstare

Cheers
