3MA race fairings for SA (and international if you insist)

[Paul]

He'll need your top casing to and power valves.
I know my heads are not right and I am having to run serious advance but you won't regret it, the bike pulls like lightening.
The only advice I can offer is if you are thinking of getting a TZ then this will set you back as it'll cost around R15000

[Edd]

Hi Paul;

May have a buyer for the current track bike so contemplating of selling it. Maybe I will do it in stages over three months . Will hear what Cocker has to say.

Edd

[Paul]

Honestly. My 3ma is a dream but in all fairness it's a lot to spend.

[Paul]

what i meant by last post is TZ is the way to go, it costs more to make a race bike than to buy one

right, moving on

good news 

got a call from bad brad, seat is ready, he calls it a prototype, i call it a bloody blessing!!!!,  this piece takes up 6 pieces of the std setup.
my concerns are and i am not sure if i should even worry, the stickers from the mould/original-set came out on the unit, perfectly. this makes it dead easy to spray oem colours and i suppose you can sand it out pretty easy. even the yamaha on the back came out perfect.

let me tell you it fitted perfectly, i did a small trim were subframe, tank and fairings meet. otherwise it snaps into place and chocking up with foam between frame and seat and fitting the 2 lower screws, it is on and perfect.
he said as it is a prototype he used offcuts of fibre and he basically wants me to use it and find weak points.

without further adue.... i give you.... in colour.....

edit, pics rotated

 He is a changed man !

You can clean up the mould to get rid of those lines

[Louis]

That looks great Paul

Can the seat be cut down to use original pillow?
Does it have the original rounding of the pillow at the end?

When does it comes in production?
And what will the cost be

[Paul]

Hi Louis.
There is others you can get that fit std seat. See earlier in this thread from MBSteve.
This is a race seat so maybe some foam and that's it. It is comfortable. And as is you sit a touch lower than std. Braking hard feels good.
When he has finished the fairings I'll have final pricing. He said R2500 for the lot (seat plus fairings, no mudguard) originally which is cheap compared to European stuff but the finished product still needs work.
I am also learning a lot again. I will see if I can get him to touch moulds up to take lines out.
I am not going to bug him yet though. He had lots of work still to do.
It looks like I can chop a lot of the sub frame away which is good news.

[Edd]

Hi Paul,

Looks good, good investment I magine getting this done with Andy

Edd

[Crank]

Keen to see what the fairings are going to look like.

Paul, could you find out what it would cost for him to make a mould of a 3MA 3 front mudguard, both Edd and I have those front forks unlike your 3MA with a 3XV front end, I have modified a damaged 3XV mudguard to fit but the brackets looks shit!

Edd, could yours be used to make the mould?

[Paul]

Rather deal with Gerard at Racebox. Honestly. Just makes sense as you are in jhb.

I am waiting for a 5KE curved arse seat from Spain which I will make a mould of. That would look tit on a 3xv. See Louis's track bike for a pic.

[Crank]

Any progress on the bodywork? Will it be ready for the 27th?

[Paul]

he's done the bottom of the fairing and is doing the top now, mould will be ready thursday and he says he will be able to send to production

[Edd]

Hi Guys;

Excellent news glad we are getting there gona get my son to do a nice design to be painted.

Scott no problem we can use my front mudguard to make a mould just let me knoww. Have you tried war eagle racing in Pretoria?

Edd

Hello has all,

I am interest for the complete set.
Is it still possible knowing that I am not press?

[tzr-v4]

From France you could try TZR125 Beldarda as Louis did (I helped him to bue from Rofidal)
I don't remember if the body work too (seat I'm sure).

I think Paul set is more race oriented than the belgarda ones.
