Cutting Platic_The Fairing MOdyssey IV

Ready to cut some plastic!

Check out the future space for the visor on the fairing. The adjustable windshield will go over this.


Today's work. Used a Dremel Tool, flat file, snips, and various wt sandpaper. A fiberglass cutting wheel and 60 grit sanding bit were used with the rotary. Then I finished the curvature of the edges (KLX Fairing) with a curved blade on a hobby-knife.

Once again, a Lexan shield will be fitted into the now modified KLX fairing.

The next step will be to finish shaping the piece for the headlight-array.



On this last pic, the lamps are shown for the sake of visualization purposes. They will be mounted to a front subframe and not "epoxied" like another rider was successful in doing (ADV)...How? I have no clue

Next will be the bending of the side panels.
After will be the lexan shield.
And later shall be the acrylic adjustble shield.



KLX fairing mounted to Stock for the purpose of final shaping of the side panels.
