6/3/11 - Mold Making for Dummies


Yesterday I spent most of the evening hunched over a block of pink foam with a bit of sandpaper making the mold for my fairing.

First I hollowed out what was necessary on the back side to get it to fit over the lights, gauge, bars, etc.

Then I mounted it on the bike and took a look at what I could rough cut away.


With the foam rough cut, it was time to break out the sandpaper.

Starting to look like something here.

It's still much, much too large and bulky, but the shape is starting to come through.

You really just have to work with the foam and let it shape itself. I need this to be a bit curvier and about 2/3 its current size, but it is getting there. Stay tuned for updates.
