I think it came out OK.
I put several a couple of small layers of Kevlar where the damage was, under the larger layer of Kevlar. Then covered the Kevlar with a layer of carbon. I hope I don't have to test the repair.

looks good.

truly i am amazed that those little bolts don't snap off under the stress even without the guards. i know that they dont on most bikes in wrecks and thats because there are several of them but it's still a wonder to me

What kind of epoxy/resin?

Looks good by the way. This is the second time I've seen these covers hold up well...I'm thinking they are a must for the track...

That is nice! Where did you get the materials for the fix?

I know they sell carbon fiber, kevlar etc. Not sure about minimum order amounts?

Got the material at Hastings plastics in Santa Monica and Plastic Depot in burbank. Used a high viscosity Epoxy Resin.
It would have cost me less to buy a new one. But if I have to do a second, I will be in he black.
If you try this, make sure you have a great pair of scissors. The Kevlar is tough to cut.
