SV650 - Time to take some molds!


Its time to get molding some fibreglass panels! With the bike on the workbench, we can get to work prepping the different pieces to receive the first layup of fibreglass.


These are the first panels to be molded and theoretically should be the easiest to release when done. In order to protect the clay and make removal easy, the clay has been covered with a thin sheet of aluminum foil before having the gel-coat applied.


Two layers of chopped strand mat later (8 hours at 27 degrees) and the first panel is ready to be popped! We'll show you the results, next time!
