I have been looking at the smaller flyscreens as the big screen on Pepé can be a bit of a pain in the wet as no matter how much polish it has on it, it still becomes a little hard to see through and you have to look over.
I have thought about hydro-dipping but have yet to fnd someone that will reply to an email enquiry or in fact show an example of a Rocket flyscreen suitably decorated. The ones I have contacted can't be short of business as they can't be arsed to come back with a price.
I have seen the work from Chris at Custom-Sculpt. He does all kinds of different work and has a portfolio of bike work and a lot of R3 stuff.
You can design your own but I have always liked Iron Maiden's "Eddie". A quick email confirms that Chris has the mould and can make one. I can decide on any colours I want as the mould starts off plain. He has work piled up and so I'd have to fit in. That's fine with me. Time to put some pennies away.
Update 9/9/2017.
After a few days of looking at hydrophobic liquids I decided to risk buying one to try on the paintwork of Pepe and also on the seen.
I still like the idea of one of these custom jobs but in the end delivery and cost is a major factor.
Update 15/11/2017
I think this has gone about as far as it is evet going to. Chris came back to say that it might be a while before he can do it as he hasn't been well. It's over two months and he hasn't come back apart from a price of £195 for Eddie (above). I am looking at other options.
