[Dwayne OMember]

Christ Moto,
Looks like you do need a carbon or fibreglass one to put to the Moto test. :laugh: :laugh:
If the plastic guards are so popular these days, the carbon has to be strong enough. Agreed on your previous comments on the fibre orientation & bonding, mine was hand layed at home. Other option is to vacuum bag it, which pulls all air out, gives perfect resin to fibre ratio = super strong & light too.
Wonder if the dude in Woolongong that runs MOTOCOMPOSITES has done bashplates ???
“MOTO” COMPOSITES, [color=][/color]wonder if this is a sign :woohoo:
Cheers guys

[Dwayne OMember]

Yeah Ollie,
Carbon has the wank factor, however ya can`t see mine cause I got a few air bubbles that I filled in then painted the guard with Hi temp engine enamel(Wank factor gone from visibility)

You gonna use the borrowed plastic guard to mould off? Worth a try if you have good release agents & some basic wood working to brace the shape on the back of the plastic onr prior to moulding it ???

[Dwayne OMember]

Thanks guys, it was actually a prototype thta i didn`t hold a bit degree of confidence in. BUT it seemed to hold up fine, definitely sounded like a .22 going off when it copped a good hit:) I might just add a flat bit to the bottom so it extends further back under the frame rather than starting again. Shape & fit was fine in the end:unsure:
Never even thought of making em in numbers. Would need each different bike for 2-3days to form the basic shape (a bit of head scratching thrown in here & there too) then another day to prepare the mould for layup, day to lay it up, a day to dress & fit to bike. Can be a bit of a process, I can see why the alloy models are the $$$ they ask for them as those guys have to follow the same steps to work out the jigs then cut, bend & weld the alloy.

My plate took my 3-4hrs a night for 4-5 nights, cost was only $30 in epoxy resin, I was lucky enough to scrounge a bit of carbon scrap & the plastic sheet scrap for the mould (it was able to be heated with heat gun & bent to shape), the carbon is the expensive part, can be $2000per roll depending on what weave & weight cloth it is.

So I reckon it is a bit of a daunting process to go into manufacturing mode just yet, but if there was a need for a run of plates for a certain model bike it could be worthwhile. I will ask a local supplier of materials when i see him about $$$ & availability of carbon & keep it in mind. I know that Ollie has been looking for some to do some gasser guards & i think he has found similar hurdles to me.
