Yamaha YSR 50 conversion.

SO I got a mold off the front fender and im just making it as smooth as possible to lay CF inside it.
I also got some cleat gelcoat and thinned it down with styrene resin thinner then used my hvlp auto pait gun to spray a gel coat on the next peice before laying fiberglass on it to make a mold but man I spent all day sanding.... So borring!
But hope it all turns out as good as I plan. Im sure another 40-60 hours of prep work and I should be able to make some carbon fiber body work.

Judging from his other posts, methinks that was a spammer, and a mod deleted the post.

I was kinda wondering that but he wasnt trying to sell anything and it was not his first post.
He Just said keep the video up after the bike is sold because nice ysr 50s like this one are rare....

It sounds like I might be able to Hack the programing part but keep that on the DL
I will let you know how it goes and for that matter I will think about getting a programer one day because if this controler is any good I will use it for more projects.!

[Arlo1]

Over 60 hours so far still have to take a mold off the tank. I bondo'ed in the gas cap for a smooth finish and got it ready with PVA mold release and layed a few coats of clear gelcoat on it once Im back from ottowa I will finish that mold and figure out how to proceed with the rest of the pannels.... I realy wished I had of vacume baged the rest....

[SplinterOz]

That is looking really good... you will have a fantastic bike when done.

I designed a push button to transformed the velomobile cover to a paraglider wing type and the hub motor to drive a 3 bladed prop (star delta mode to optimize take off power), not finished yet, but for now my wings is BC Ferries Fleet:wink:

[Arlo1]

Zenon. I want to build a recumbrent like yours as well. I need another look at your stearing!

[beast775]

looking wicked sick! looks fast already .

[zenon]

Zenon. I want to build a recumbrent like yours as well. I need another look at your stearing!

When I get the time I will create a trike build tread since Etrike is becoming one of ES popular addition to the fleet. Poeple go nuts around here when I ride it. When the Canuck won again's Nashville I went to downtown Vancouver with the trike and the with Canuck flag on the pole crowd went nuts as I pass by Grandville and Robson .I should have video taped it. It's a classic reaction from the crowd seeing an Etrike. I'm still pump about it.



Anyway I want to see your setup go soon

Zenon
