Fiberglass Supplies - what you need

Picked up some Fiberglass supplies for the Leg Breaker's seat build. I've used a company called Fiberglass International which deal with both wholesale and direct to the public.

These guys are really helpful and quite a bit cheaper than buying fibreglass from the large supply chains such as Bunnings / Supercheap etc.

Basically you need three things.


  1. Matting
  2. Resin
  3. Catalyst

You mix the Resin with 1.5% of Catalyst apply to the Matting wait for it to harden, and then PRESTO you have a mould.  You can then apply as many layers as you see fit.   Depending on the matting normally 2-3 layers should be strong enough.  It's better to work under conditions of about 22 degrees C just to ensure that you get the gel doesn't dry too quickly or not dry at all.


The good thing about fiberglass is that it's extremely light when finished, albeit messy to work with.

These arrived in the mail today after waiting a while for the supplier to get them back in stock. I've used these grips on various push bikes over the last 10 years and when I found out that they made …They are probably the most comfortable grips that I've ever used and for those with slightly bigger claws these are great.

Pics by Nathan DiClaudioPreviously I had a post about a custom shop calledthat created an amazing looking . But now they've taken what the previous owner called _"just a f\*&@'n Yamaha"_ which was a half cut 79 XS650 …I really like the lines on this bike, the exhausts run parallel with the tail piece, and the whitespace between the seat and the frame really opens it up to more of a higher riding position than the traditional bobber.
