Carbon fiber right side scoop

[Pockets]

Hey everybody. If I were to mold and offer a carbon right side scoop, what would be a reasonable price? I haven't seen any carbon ones yet. If there are any, please let me know how much they are. I'll post up pics of mine once the fiberglass plug is done. I know the factory Uly scoop is around $60 for the two pieces and screws.

would it be symmetrical to the LSS?

Close but not dead-on. It's right between the Uly and the $200+ fiberglass one from Europe. It's taking a considerable amount of time to get it right. Kudos to the guy in Europe that made the perfect match version!

Just saw the Trojan Horse scoops. Mine will be very similar to their carbon one, but at a much lower cost. I should be able to put them out for around $80 and, like theirs, will allow you to reuse your factory screws. Pics of the fiberglass plug to come this weekend with any luck!

Pics are a selling point.

I like the $80 price point.

I want one of these in carbon for the 08 and up, in my opinion these are the best looking ones yet!

CRX-I wouldn't mind making a mold of one if someone has one to donate. Problem is, it's a copyright issue AND an expensive piece to donate just to make a mold.

Working on it now and SHOULD have the fiberglass laid by Saturday.

Big delay in finishing the plug...grr. Hoping for early next week. Sorry guys.

 

[jmcrutch]

That's cool. Here's a bump to keep you motivated.

 

[Pockets]

Thanks JM! I'll have the first version trimmed and primed tonight with pics! During laying it up, I discovered that I could get a better mold by hacking my factory scoop and making a frame from it. Version 2.0 will be posted up this weekend.

Just wanted to say, sounds like a nice piece and for the price you are shooting for, I would be interested also.
Thank you, Pockets, for working on it.

 

[Pockets]

Here are the pics as promised. I'll be scrapping this one completely in favor of a MUCH better layout, but here's a VERY rough idea of what I'll be making.

 

[Pockets]

The final mold will have an inner panel to block the front cylinder similar to the Uly scoop.

 

[Pockets]

Oops. Further proof that fiberglass doesn't like being pushed on. Not the progress pic I'd LIKE to post, but it's a project.

Any updates?

I'm interested if your still workin on it.

Same here, my carbon scoop is scratched up from the bike falling over onto it, I'm needing another but don't want to spend the $200+ at american sportbike again
