Damn! one of the best fiberglass videos on youtube, you show all the process and in the end it dont look like crap, it looks professional unlike others
Thank you for the view, we hope you subscribe and I do much more advance fiberglass , I am just getting use to TH-cam and its limitations and how to best fit our channel into it. You should see much more detailed projects soon. We really are here to help you start to finish. And try to answer any questions.
I made a custom Marine Corp themed harley. I wanted the eagle globe and anchor symbol to come through fender so I ordered an acryllic fender and just tinted my clear. My problem is that I am getting cracks and such in the acryllic fender and everything I try to fix them don't work. Nobody I talked to knows how to fix the cracks and get it to hold. I am thinking I need to go back to the drawing board and get a fiberglass stretched fender and try to work a lexan lense into the fender so tail light shines through. Any ideas on how to do this?
If I'm visualizing what you made there correctly then it almost seems like you need to turn it into a mold and reproduce it out of plastic. Plastic starts in a liquid form and you can get the exact same type of plastic that is used for vehicle lenses.
@@RandomAudioGuys A mold for whole fender or the Marine Corps emblem? The whole fender is already a clear type plastic (acryllic) material. I put red led's behind and only tinted clear. The fender itself is cracked in different areas which is why I was thinking of doing or getting a fiberglas fender (more sturdy) and working in a 6" circle of clear like resin into fiberglas for the tail light.
I wouldn't recommend that. The mat is a sound absorber but also helps the sound waves to clean up the sound for a better bass response. By fiberglassing over it you would defeat the purpose. It should have been fiberglass reinforced then dynamatted.
I was wondering if I could follow this process for making my own stretch bags? I have the 2014 abs Harley bags and I wanna fiberglass the rear into my own stretch bags. Do you think I should put one layer of fiberglass around the entire bag for extra strength??
1 layer of glass is not that strong. It gets its strength from multiple layers. I'd consider 3 or so if you use 2oz mat. When you purchase your fiberglass mat it will have a thickness/weight rating. That determines how much you will need.
Hi, they are incredible. But I wanted to ask you the exact name or where I can buy the blue fleece like the blue and not like the bank? I would like it much if I do not find the right one. I would be very appreciative.
You can use Polyester, Even Cotton tshirt material is good for a startup that will hold enough resin to hold the shape, Lycra material is very good if you have a ton of curves and strong shapes, then for lighter shapes that dont have hard bends you can use Fiberglass Fleece.
You do fine work but I have to wonder if the speakers get flooded with water. I don't know about you but, like most people, I have to ride in the rain sometimes and I also wash my bike. It seems very impractical.
Its always something we cross when dealing with Bikes in general. He has a few setups and we have yet to have an issue with it. He does get caught in the rain occasionally but knows to stop playing it when raining. So far so good but the Extreme bike system guys typically know what they are up against with weather for the most part. But the next customer may have this concern and we address each one depending on the bike owner. Also helps with custom work because they know 2 people don't get the same job at our shop.
Came out good 💪 man. What part in Kentucky ? I'm originally from Philadelphia I moved out to Kentucky I do work like that myself. Not too many audio stores or shops in my area lol Country life
We only work on local work but Metra should have a product as do many others. These are custom because he didn't want to be like everyone else. Its not something people online sellers off from what I see. I would hit up a local audio shop or fabrication shop.
Knowing what your doing you will have about 8 hours in a pair. Due to set times and paint ect..... First timers or people not familiar with finish work will spend alot more time sanding but can still get good results.
is the fabric folded over the edge and back into the inside of the lid?
Yes and then once its harden with resin its blended on the bottom lip.

It would’ve been nice to see the actual install of the sheets of fiberglass

DAMN FRIEND!!! that was some amazing sh*t!
i really really enjoyed it!
Nice vid bro look really good
my bags were Dynomatted for heavy BASS ....can I Fiberglass over the DynoMat?
I wouldn't recommend that. The mat is a sound absorber but also helps the sound waves to clean up the sound for a better bass response. By fiberglassing over it you would defeat the purpose. It should have been fiberglass reinforced then dynamatted.
What part of Kentucky your in cause I live in Louisville
Can you build one with a 6.5 speaker add on to the lid?
Excellent work

Awesome work. Are you interested in doing another set?
Appreciate the offer, but already working on another set and buried in work now.

Random Audio Guy how do I contact you hit me up via email. I own the bike in this video now!! Need some work done
very clean
Awesome Work!!!! ✌💪👍👊
Thank you so much, hopefully we gained a subscriber and look forward to some future projects!!
Can you do one with a 8 inch add on
Yes 8 inch is very possible.
nice job
Came out good 💪 man. What part in Kentucky ? I'm originally from Philadelphia I moved out to Kentucky I do work like that myself. Not too many audio stores or shops in my area lol Country life
Over in the eastern area by WV/Ohio. And your right not much left in this area so we make the best of what we have basically.
Good job
Thanks a bunch.
I watched one of your other videos you got mad skills bro
Is it possible you can do it for my bags on my bike. I've had problems looking for speaker lids online for my bike.
We only work on local work but Metra should have a product as do many others. These are custom because he didn't want to be like everyone else. Its not something people online sellers off from what I see. I would hit up a local audio shop or fabrication shop.
Where are the wires ran?
They look very professional thanks for the video. just wondering how long from start to finish?
Knowing what your doing you will have about 8 hours in a pair. Due to set times and paint ect..... First timers or people not familiar with finish work will spend alot more time sanding but can still get good results.
Is this Biggn's bike?
Yep, hes TH-cam famous now.
Well the sound is phenomenal too. Great work.
How is the song on your intro called?
Why that beat in the beginning sound like lil nas x montero
What if it rains?
marine speakers
from my experience. if the speakers are not pointed at your face on the bike you're gonna have a hard time hearing it
What's your contact info. And how much would you charge to fiberglass a pair of 6.5 speakers 1 in each lid
You should start makin vids again
You'll be surprised whata in the works. Basic stuff coming soon then building up to do a weekly video as I get backup ans rolling
@@RandomAudioGuys Awesome! Keep that motivational energy up and going. You're a natural!
Maybe my eyes are getting bad but I would have used wood instead of a roll of tape...
Roll of tape ?
It's called "MDF" it is meant for speakers and similar products. It is created in layers and is light then solid wood.
who the fuck covered those bags, Jason or freddy kruger? that's some shit leather work
Watching with my granddaughter won't watch again inappropriate.
