Took everyone's advice, just tossed on the new touring tire. 'll finally get my color change to the color scheme I intended to build before getting sidetracked, will be trying my damnest to finish it off by winter.
Finally got more chopped carbon so this weekend I'll get to forge the heel guards. No more skinned ones. Lighter? Probably not, I made them ~ stock thickeness.

Here we go again with heel guards. This is the easy part of making forged carbon things. 200g of carbon and epoxy, but over stuff my molds. I'll pop them open tomorrow.
Looks like a scary front paddock stand

I probably should upgrade, but used for 20yrs since the SV days

Rarity it pops out of the main mold so quickly. Came out good except one top area it didn't compress for some reason. When I applied the wet coat I added a couple chopper fibers over the area to blend in and can sand down level tomorrow.

I'm selling the experience in making them so no one else has to go through it, haha.

Sanded smooth, cleaned and another coat of epoxy. 4mm thick if anyone is curious.
This variable pedal I bought a couple of years ago for some reason is the secret to sanding carbon.....full control over the DA now.

Been riding, but will install this weekend. I'll cut out Suzuki in satin black and see how it looks.
Realized today that my SMX6's toe sliders were replaceable....more practice making forged carbon isn't a bad thing.

Finally ditched the gold bezels. Always planned to paint in body color, but did this on a whim. I'd like to redo in white and do the larger ones to match..... but this was some tedious work, but thanks to @Spudley for letting me use a little of his high quality vinyl roll.
Working on a new 3D project for the bike, something most owners would appreciate.

I removed the cluster so could wrap on it. They do wobble slightly, possibly could come off but I didn't attempt.

Been scanning stuff lately, finally proficient with physically doing it and aligning all the scans to output a useable mesh I can draw off of.
Been wanting to do something else in forged carbon. While the Ti weld looks nice, it has always bugged me it's at a slight angle so making an exhaust shield to fit profile and go up the can some as well.

I rediscovered an old scan of the sprocket cover, I think I had wanted to just print and skin at the time. Since I can now make forged parts, another one to the list.
Decent size part, won't fit on my bad unless vertical. I've discovered 3d gloop that melts the plastic to bond, so printed in 3 pieces to glue for test fit in half the print time.
