Where did you get the CF parts for it, and how much were they? I'm liking those a lot.

I've bought all the carbon parts off eBay for most of my bikes, just type your model and add carbon, for example i would type "cbr1000rr carbon" for mine, then your have loads appear, all you have to do is find the carbon for your model (year).
I paid £150 (approx $250) for the carbon frame panels and £50 (approx $85) for the tank panels.

Wish i knew someone like that, even if there was someone that custom made carbon parts over here they would probably ask top money for them... I like the idea of getting colored carbon, not heard of that before other than the green-ish effect kevlar carbon.

What can i say toptaz1000rr, that bike built from components in boxes is a truly amazing looking machine, that must have cost a small fortune!

I'm almost done with the carbon now, the only other bits that i'm eventually gonna get are the side panels on the tank, the carbon panels to cover the swinging arm and i may buy a carbon front mudguard but i'm a little unsure about that at the moment, i'll wait and see once the paint is on.

Thanks anyway.

I know just that suspension set-up is probably worth more than my whole bike

Once my numbers come up on the lottery i'll show you how to build a bike
till that day comes i'll have to dream on.

Like the phrase "cry in your cereal", i've done plenty of that

Can't really call this a mod but it's still an aftermarket part, my seat cowl turned up yesterday, i was concerned about the color match but it's not too bad, i will get it sprayed along with the other parts but it looks ok for now.

Also my smoked mini LED indicators turned up, apparently these fit flush in the hole left when you remove the OE indicators, should look nice if they do sit nice and flush with the fairing.
