I had heard mention of these and also heard they are hard to come by and a bit rare. I would love one and think it would compliment my custom tail section that is in the works. I have exceeded my X1 budget for the next couple months! Would some one please purchase this, make a mold and offer it in carbon fiber!!! If you do I will purchase one in a couple months!

Would there be a market for these if someone started making them again? Like I said I would love one in carbon fiber.

Al... you could make this happen yes? ; )

Not a great picture but here is a thread regarding one for sale here a while back.

That would be better than glass but carbon would be sexier. I am half tempted to bid on that one.

Meh.. almost 200 after shipping... maybe I need to learn how to lay up glass and make a better one.

Guy from the UK had some made and I think it is him selling them perhaps he could get them made in carbon?

Nice... thanks guys...

So I got curious and did a little research on making one for myself. The process looks pretty simple and I think I could pull it off. Plus I think I could design one that flows a little better. Sculpting a plug, making a mold and laying out glass on such a small part would be a good beginner project.

I couldn't make a high quality carbon part but what would stop me from using carbon on the outer layer just for looks?

Maybe if it turns out decent I could send you the plug to mold in urethane Purpony?

This may be a winter project but sounds fun.

Oh... btw... I like your x1 dutch.

Lot of nice X1s owned by badwebbers... hope mine will eventually rank up there with some of yours.
