I know its been painful to watch (Leon), but I did get a little something made last night. One of the things I needed to do before paint was some little tabs for an undertail shield panel. The only thing is, I don't have the panel made yet. So, thats what I did last night
 I started by using spray adhesive to glue card stock (file folders work awesome, are cheap and plentiful) to the bottom of the subframe, so that I have something flat that follows the contour of the tubes. Then I covered the folders with packaging tape.Then I laid the the first layer of carbon cloth over the "mould" I mixed up some resin, coated the first layer of cloth,, then added 3 more layers for a total of 4. It doesn't need to be super strong, just keep the crud out from under the seat and tail. After the last layer it looked like this: And there you have it, thats how you make a quick and dirty carbon fiber subframe panel.  FRANKEN Z!

It wouldn't be very difficult, but I'm guessing you have a stock frame boostable? FRANKEN Z!

It's been so long, and my bike is so heavily modified that I can't for the life of me recall what all was in the way on the stock subframe section. I could whip one out, but I'd need a stock assembled bike to see the hows and wheres, and a stock bare frame to use as a template. Fortunately I know a place to find both!
