Carbon wrapping

So this is a technique that iam not very keen on but i guess in cases of emergency like this you could give it a go

I am currently restoring/modding my Yamaha R1-Z 250 , this stroker has 2 aluminium plates that bolt on the frame where the swingarm mounts

Mine were in a very bad condition



So except of spraying and polishinf these would need to be welded too

So in this case i decided that carbon wrapping was the way to go

First sprayed them black with a simple spray can

Then i cut one layer of carbon fibre a little bigger than the plates



Then i carefully folded them in the back of the plates and taped them to gether



One coat of clear resin got me here



After some dremeling sanding and 2 coats of clear laquer got me these ( i used a mat laquer , i thing i would have better results with a gloss clear coat )



And finally on to the R1-Z
