project part 2

[GW's Motorized]

By far imo

Yeah, there is simply less intricate curves

I think you should just do the 1/4 ferring. The plates on the side won't really do anything but harm your engines cooling

I second this...although ducati and dunkin seems to be very confident. Either way I'm eager to see what he does with this project...

There is not enough air cooling on china dolls when stopped to really worry about the sides here. While forced air cooling like on a utility/industrial engine would be ideal, as long as the material isn't burning it will be fine.

If designed correctly the fairing could funnel air over the engine aiding in cooling at any speed over 10 mph.

The CAD mock up looks good and the simple geometry is a smart choice. As for actual constructing of the fairing: those eva foam jigsaw mats are cheap, light and easy to work with.

You may need some plates to sandwich the foam between to prevent the bolt from tearing through but something like this would allow you fasten to the frame without drilling into or welding onto it.

Is this what youre gonna use?

so if you poke the bike with your finger it'll feel soft??

 

[cloakedvillain]

I suppose so.

Just like Poppin Fresh, the Pillsbury Dough Boy...lol.

 

[Chainlube]

I suppose so.

Unless you glass over it.

If you get a big block of styrofoam and carve out the fairing, sand it and cover with bondo, then prime it. You can glass over the whole thing.
