Don't worry, it's like Honda's. Everyone puts the same stuff on kind of! I got a good idea for you....Put on the carbon fiber pieces, then have a House of Kolor transparent paint sprayed on to give it a colored carbon fiber look. I have seen carbon fiber hoods with that and it looks nice.

The real question is....Who hasn't thought of all carbon fiber bodywork.

i know i know. i have seen carbon fiber parts before. I just never saw the entire bike in carbon fiber. That is what i wanted to do . Just never really got of fmy *** to get the molds done. I guess im a little late in the times since this seems to be such a common thing,

Thanks.

Nice but way too much money for a little bit of weight loss. Unless you just want the look.

I do not know what it is called exactly, for lack of a better explanation...It's like spray on tint, the more transparent tinted? paint the darker and deeper the color. It really looks cool.

WoW. That's absolutely gorgeous. Carbon fiber is hawt. The only thing is, I'd cry if I were to drop my bike on the track.

If there's any room for opinions I think it's ugly. It's about 4 pieces to much..
