Default Looking for some advice

I'm thinking about carbon taping my tank and rear fairings as well as getting the widest rear tire possible for my bike any suggestions on where to get the carbon fiber tape from as well as how wide I can go. I have a 98 CBR 600 F3.

i have seen carbon tape on bikes ..it starts to peel after awhile and looks like crap and as for your massive tire, i hope i dont like cornering cause it will handle like crap because ti throws the geometry of the bike off

leave the tape it looks lame and comes off the first time you wash it, and yes you can can a bigger tyre on but it wont go as well as the size the bike came with from the factory, do you like to watch 'pimp my ride' by any chance?

Nothing looks like real carbon fiber. Most of it looks REALLY cheap.

Don't slap a wide tire on. Unless you are really building a show bike it just looks assinine and real riders know that you just screwed up your bike.

Stay with the stock width. If you want carbon fiber, get Carbon Fiber. Yes it's expensive but it's light and it looks badass.
