2012 concept bike build, my Honours year Industrial Design project!

[JamesE30]

ok another update to show some of the final stages of fiberglass..

I'll try skip through this bit quickly since the bike is finished, and I know you will want to see the result!

Prying the moulds apart was a 2 day job!





After moulds are prepped and laid up with the fibreglass parts:



I decided to bond the parts together inside the moulds to keep everything alighned.. was just hoping the moulds would come off without destroying anything... :/
Bonded together with epoxy resin:



Moulds apart eventually! (don't underestimate how difficult this was, advice to anyone making moulds is use a fuck load of draft angle, you can never have too much...)







This bitch of a piece took a lot of work to fit but, got there in the end, you can see below how far off it was..

Test fitting the "engine:

work on the engine and other little bits:






That preetttyyy much brings us up to the point where I had to send my journal off,so it could be printed in time.. This was about 6-10 days before deadline.. and I still had a lot to make.. so there were not too many photos taken after this

So I'll cut forward a bit, and here's a little teaser of the final assembly..

High res shots coming soon!

Awesome, is there any major frame support? Will it be strong enough to sit on?

Wow! got my vote. Voted a 10, hope that will help. I looked at the top 25, think your getting shafted. Digital illustrations at #8. How dose that even rate. I am tempted to go on and on about each one but it would get to be a bit much. There is one I did like the child walking boot. Improvement over the current or the one we have to use.

Very Interesting!!!

Going to vote now!

Voting! Single cylinder 450 dirt bike motor would be awesome on that thing. You should probably make it fully functional, register it, and drive it around.
