Surely somebody could make some moulds or something though? i just dont get how something like sum arches can be so impossible to get or re-create?
josh
a carbon set of those arches would be the dogs!(Y)

They'll probably be Watanabe's...but basically similar in style.
:laugh: Frank you have been busy, have you got all four arches done? Or is this just the one to test?
Im sure I can have a go at it, not sure how nice they will look as the tank guard that I am working is a strong weave and I am doing 2 layers so doesnt look that sexy but its strong which is what you need.
Not sure how they will turn out but happy to give it go. (Y)
Have you still got those slick tyres too?
yeh just the one k6 :grinning:, personally i,d prefer some skinny lightweight carbon ones like this pic

and does that weave you,re using need to be sandwiched (in 2 moulds) and highbaked ?
and yeh, i,ve got you some plum tyres, mounted on steelies
iv looked at the minilite and they dont seem to do he same depth or they do have the same depth but have the 4 x108 stud fitting
yeah i know what you mean, i ended up looking at superlight wheels...as they are slightly closer to the design. Though i ended up buying completely different wheels lol.
kp6fs i was just lookiing on yahoo auctions for an watanabe example price...looks like you beat me to it

thats the superlite wheels...i did find mixed opinions on the company though (all forum talk so no idea how much was duplicated), and didnt get past asking him for a rough idea on cost.
though i was mostly trying to get a second hand set.
excellent thank you!, think im going to get some realy nice deep ones (Y)
Hi,
I can get hold of a different weave, and give it go, shall I try it on your one mold?
13x7 superlites FTW!
k6, would they only "look right" if they were formed between 2 moulds with impregnated weave, and then baked (rather than layed up wet, on a single mould) ?
just got me some of them he he he
p.s loveing the metallica quot!
