7e. F-18 Aerodynamic Handlebar Guards

The front fairing will be extended 7" from both sides to provide protection for Bob's hands.  These guards must have clearance for handlebar rotation.  Four layers of 2" thick polyurethane foam are bonded together and to the fairing.  These will be carved and sanded to shape.  

The Hand guard after one hour of sawing and sanding the foam blocks.  Prior to fiber glassing, the shape will be undercut to allow for a 1/8" thick structural shell.
Hand Guard shaped and  ready for fiber glassing.  Two layers of masking tape are applied after a resin coat.  This becomes the release film for later removal of the foam core.
