Can see where your going with it now . When I got my Monster first thing I took off was the rear mud guard just makes the rear end look so different. I keep it safe they are very funny where I live when it comes to mot time they like the bike to be as original as possible .

[@johnbullen1734]

It's already looking good, you should have your own TV show!

[@forthebold]

That would be nice 👍🏻

[@kevinbirmingham3833]

you are a mad mad man! I love it, keep up the good work!

[@forthebold]

A bit of insanity is good

[@mamanmahomie6747]

cant wait to see this bike finish

[@forthebold]

👍🏻

[@adrxr]

I like your idea😄 i can't wait to see the results🤩 keep up the good ideas👍🏽

[@forthebold]

Thanks

[@redlinefunzone3514]

New subscriber looking forward to your builds.

[@forthebold]

Thanks. Glad to have you here 👍🏻

[@phillheth]

Starting to look great buddy 👍🏼

[@forthebold]

Thank you

[@CornishTreasureHunter]

Have held of watching this as I wanted to binge watch it, got to be your most ambitious project yet I was sat thinking I wouldn't have a clue where to start with shaping that foam! Excellent work mate 👌- Luke

[@forthebold]

Ha, it's one of those things that bit by bit it starts to take shape and you get the idea straight in your head. It is daunting and looking back I wouldn't like to be starting it again (although I'm doing it with the fairing again).

[@CornishTreasureHunter]

@@forthebold good on you though mate, definitely interesting to watch and can't wait to see it complete!

[@anassolkar]

Plz upload vid fast we cant waint 😁😁❤️ And huge fan of your work

[@forthebold]

Unfortunately between working and family building, filming and editing is a slow process

[@anassolkar]

@@forthebold just kidding bro And lots of love from india ❤️🇮🇳

[@allandriver2066]

Silver GT stripe down the left side with orange edge stripes....or reverse it!

[@shrek2056]

Yessss another vid

[@forthebold]

Glad you’re happy

[@f100unibody9]

Good job 👍

[@forthebold]

👍🏻

[@igxrruaof]

finally, an update 🤘

[@forthebold]

Ha. It’s only been 2 weeks since the last.

[@OldManTony]

It will look fantastic, but maybe I’m biased! When we ran our SS800 minitwins racer, our team colours were orange and black. We had a QB Carbon fairing with exposed carbon fibre and orange graphics. It was the best looking bike on the grid, even after our first crash when we ended up repairing the fairing and painting it plain black!

[@forthebold]

Sounds incredible. Did you have any photos of it?

[@OldManTony]

For The Bold if you search inzane Laverda minitwin, you should find our website. (We ran a Laverda 650 Formula before the Ducati). Check out the gallery.

[@garrywhitelaw8723]

At 4:20 (my favourite time) it's looking like a supersport..

[@forthebold]

Hope you like the end product.

[@f100unibody9]

Nice

[@forthebold]

Thanks

[@johncarlson8029]

I don't like the lower cut at the front cylinder. To each his own I would cover as much of the sides with fairing as possible. Where can i get a good fairing fo an 07 Hornet 900?

[@AndreiBran]

Hell ya

[@forthebold]

👍🏻

[@Frisky_FZR]

I’m planning on building a 150cc version of the 650 royal enfield flat track any tips for the fibre glassing process

[@forthebold]

Take your time and get your harderner right

[@satishgadre1625]

is there any paper related works to be done from RTO before modification ?

[@forthebold]

Depends on what country you live in

[@Moto_Medics]

Think my aprilia came with an extra set of those cf pipes haven’t heard em yet tho...

[@forthebold]

The exhaust system on this is Termignoni. I do like the sound.

[@Matt281296]

Did you think about hanging fabric to make a mold for the fiberglass or carbon fiber? B is for built did it on his lamborghini... looked way easier than cutting foam! ;)

[@forthebold]

Not sure how it would work without a rigid shape to mould to.

[@Matt281296]

For The Bold from what I understood, you make a skeleton to shape your fabric, then glue the fabric on that skeleton and impregnate it with epoxy which makes it rigid.. you can then make your fiberglass directly on it using a separating agent. I'm not sure how it would go for rounded shapes though...

[@forthebold]

Matt Carbonel both require the process of making a skeleton or a shape to begin with out of something like clay or foam. The option of a split mould or direct moulding comes after. Both involve carbon fibre cloth and resin. The advantage of a mould is you can replicate it time after time. But either still has to go through this process

[@Matt281296]

For The Bold well.. good luck with that then! It looks rather tedious! I'll keep seating there watching haha

[@dahlmasen3084]

I think that the cowl (or whatever the thing behind the seat is called) should be a bit smaller

[@forthebold]

We’ll see how it looks with the clay

[@johncarlson8029]

White frame KTM orange wheels???. And remember cooling especially to the rear cylinder is very important. I would go for more side coverage ala old style and yes i'm older a day older and farting dust at 55. And yes a haaaaarrrrrd life aint nothin free

[@MrFilgri]

Don't show me ur inspirations. . . be careful!!! ahahaha :P

[@forthebold]

It’s good to share inspiration. 👍🏻

[@MrFilgri]

You'll get the proper credits ;) Keep on!!

[@2gj906]

Why don't you use clay? It's easier to manipulate

[@forthebold]

It’s what I’m going to do. I mentioned it in the video. I use foam first to save and bulk up rather than making it all in clay. Also easier to remove to make the mould.

[@2gj906]

@@forthebold Ahh makes sense! I am really interested how this build is gonna turn out. Extra interested to see the molds too!

[@allandriver2066]

I will be putting the original seat back on....yeah.......but nah! 🤙

[@mathiasnkristensen]

Please shorten the seat cowl a bit. Its too long in my opinion

[@forthebold]

We’ll see how it balances out with the tank when it’s all shaped out of clay

[@jonclark2234]

You should be wearing gloves, Antony. Not for the foam, for your tea

[@forthebold]

Luckily it’s not too strong for bare hands.
