- In this first video of mine I'll bring you along with this overview of my work to create this custom fairing for my motorcycle.
This is a part of a broader project to personalize this motorcycle to my needs.
The motorcycle is a 1993 Honda NX 650 Dominator.
Very good job , it looks much better than the oryginal one . Your work inspired me to do something like that to my AT xrv650
Thanks man! Have fun with your build and good luck =D
It ’s very dexterous, and the cowl is also cool and wonderful.
Sos un genio!! Deberías vender kits de modernización para las viejitas 👏👏
I love this!! just picked up an '89 NX250 misssing the front fairing. Looks great!
Wow thats stunning work. Im very impressed with the finished piece. Im currently looking for ideas for a custom screen for my KLR600. Well done Pietro!

this is awesome, gonna make one for my 701 enduro
Wow thats beautiful, I wish I had your patience
This is art man ..masterpiece 👌✌️
Pretty amazing. Lots of work required. How many hours do you think it took you from start to finish?
Sauber gemacht, sieht richtig gut aus!
Excelente trabajo!!
Muy buenas manos Pietro
Enhorabuena!!
I preatty like it ... I am going to do somethink similar, but only for wind protection I got 88 model :)
Great job!!! Nicely done!!
Awesome work man! Keep up!
Awesome job!
Would you make me a full front Fairing If I Paid You?
Just started working on mine today. I was wondering if you have any trouble with your handlebars / brake hitting the windhsield when you turn in all the way.
It does barely touch, I had to play with handlebars and lever angles. Mine touches on the choke lever.
Using a pattern or a cardboard template to figure stuff out is necessary IMO.
Good luck and post some pictures when you are finished =)
@@pgproductions4432 definitely will, thanks for the inspiraton!
Could you please tell me wich fiberglass cloth did you put first? 390 or 160 g/m2? Wich one leaves the best finish? Thank you very much!! Excellent video!!
at 3:23 I start with the thin stuff, the second layer is heavy, 3rd is light and last is heavy
there's no actual reason I put them like that, as I said before I'm a hobbyist, my knowledge in the field is non existent...
@@pgproductions4432 When you do a part in composite you should better make a symetrical sandwich. If not you will have deformation during drying especially for large parts. The thinner the first layer is the best finish you will have. For example in your case the best is to do : thin ; heavy ; heavy ; thin.
@@ericperiot5242 thanks for the heads up =D
How long do you think this took from start to finish in work hours?
I would love to do this but need to commute on my dominator :/
It is difficult to say... my bike was still a work in progress at the time. It was about 15 - 20 hours total. Keep in mind that I used 24h epoxy, so between each resin use there's about a day for the stuff to harden.
Very nice!
Can I ask what kind of ABS plastic filament you used? I mean brand etc?
just your average chinese black ABS 3d printing filament, 3mm or 1.75mm
LCD....navigation place?
yes, smartphone location for navigation use
What did you use to glue the original ABS Mask and your fiberglas parts together?
What you got their might be the best looking domi on the planet haha
@ 5:29 you can see the process:
1. sand the paint away to the raw ABS plastic
2. "melt" the fiberglass into the plastic using acetone (ABS melts with acetone). with this method the fiberglass sheet gets embedded in the ABS
3. the epoxy resin will bond to the fiberglass mesh bonded with the plastic resulting in a solid part. to bond fiberglass parts together you have to clean both surfaces and sand them, maybe add filler to the resin if the surfaces don't fit perfectly.
thanks =)
@@pgproductions4432 Alright, so it was infact aceton. Thanks.
Really impressive build. Have you thought about making a mold from your mask? I am pretty sure you could sell those as a kit easily.
Would you make one for me ?
I guess you’ve never heard of Bondo or a power sander
where did you learn this?
Watching other youtubers working with composite materials and trial and error.
I'm just a beginner in this field
working with composite really is much easier than you thing. Just buy materials and try it, you will improve rapidly.
what kind of fiber did you use? great job BTW
I used 2 kinds of glassfiber: 390 g/m^2 and 160 g/m^2, normal square pattern cloth. Resin used is epoxy with some black dye
For what?
ok you just destroyed it when you applied that putty. you should have left it bare.
When sanding putty or flassfiber composites, WEAR A DUSTMASK.
Unless you like your lungs beeing filled with glass and epoxy particles.
Thanks, will do in the future.
Is this a joke?
you have way too much free time bro....
People nowadays try to safe time at everything, up to a point at which they dont know what to do with all their freetime anymore and pay maoney for netflix, to shut their brains off...
@@peteraugust5295 then they realise that and write comments alike under creative people’s videos 🤣
@@deffie83 Well, I just returned frpm a 2000km tour with my handmade wind shield. how about you?
The original is nicer!! Sorry mate!
Orribile....
