this is not a question about the price - it´s about the look only.

DeathWish01 · 03-12-2009, 1:40 PM

just don't carbon fiber teh whole bike... would look gaudy... if you do the tail section and other smaller bits it would look great!

heisti · 03-12-2009, 2:27 PM

i´m working on the tail right now.
that leads me soon to the next poll about the shape. has it to be 1:1 like honda did it or can it be smoothened? hm...

valleyrider · 03-12-2009, 5:49 PM

you should do the whole dash setup i guess you could call it. it looks sweet

I don't think it would look that bad. You could always paint stuff if it was too much.

to cover all the scrashes on my paniers and the fairing it's like a bloody tough sticker made out of carbon (thats what they say on the box) if you drop your bike (it happen to the best of us) the damages are limited (and stop swearing)

heisti · 03-13-2009, 9:20 AM

ah ok

heisti · 03-13-2009, 9:20 AM

same stuff like tank pads maybe?

jclaude · 03-13-2009, 9:46 AM

Mmm yeah but i could have buy 10 tank pads for the price of the 443 MILIMETERS of that stuff
