Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 '05 Test bike
Can I call you when it's time to put the wall paper up in my new house?! This is astonishing. So, so great. Top cowl is just wow.

Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 '05 Test bike
Some of the best carbon work I've ever seen. Stunning stuff. Is there any sort of clear over the carbon decal??

Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 '05 Test bike
Looks awsome. Keep up the good work.
By the way, did you paint the parts black first? |

Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 '05 Test bike
I've not been using this smily very often but here it comes...
For me this is so unbelievable. How you manage to make that decal conform to all of those irregular curves on the seat cowl is hard to figure. When pinning down one end you have to grab that side to get the other one to conform. I don't get why the very fragile decal doesn't rip from the handling. On top of that you seem to lay down the team markings with the same attention. Truly great. /Joel

It is a pity that my english is not so perfect that i could describe how i do it. But basicaly what is important to use a lot of softer. And while conforming one part of the decal do not allow to dry out the other end. It takes around an hour or two (depending on the shape) to apply CF to one part. Also what i experienced that it is better use wet finger than any kind of flat brush. Before logos i spray one coat of clear to get smoother surface. hope this helps |

Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 '05 Test bike
just a little update:
engine block is installed, front suspention and wheel is assembled. Now i work on the handle bar. i was hesitating to cut out the end of the brake but i think the result is quite good I used p/e disk brake first time but i think the result is very impressive. i hardly belive that such metal effect can be reached with any kind of paint. |

Re: Yamaha YZR-M1 '05 Test bike
Perfect job on the brake lever! What did you use to cover the brake fluid container? Looks spot on. Brake discs are awesome and I love details like the oil plug clip and the throttle fittings!
