That looks pretty sharp![sm=bling.gif]Carbon fiber stuff is almost as nice a polished or chrome. I like it! I don't know if you know much about the process. But is it just a vinyl cover that they put on? I've heard of a couple different ways it's done... A vinyl wrap then it gets clear coated, and I've heard of it getting painted on. How much did it cost?
I re-upohlstered my seat with carbon fiber print leather.I'd like to get some other things carbon fiber-ed. But there just isn't a market for my older model[:@]. Does that shop only do local services? If they do international sevices I'd be interested. Are you going to get more stuff carbon-ed? You're bike looks pretty sharp already. Only adding to the beauty with the accessories!!!!!!

Hi Chuck Norris

I am sure this process is available from where you are too. I believe you can find it shops that deals with car accessories.My friend who rides a R6 runs a car accessiories/customize shop. He has someones that picks up the pieces and have it done elsewhere. Costs me bout USD 100 to do the chain guard 2 x side mirrors, 2 x rear tail lights holder. but he gave it to me at his cost as I do some favours for him too. If you are interested I can arrange something and ship it via Fedex or UPS? just let you know this cost.

Cheers

You can buy the material here. It was a bear to find but this is what is used

That's actually Vinyl/sticker sheet. I stuck some on my helmet. Mine actually involves a process and is "coated/painted" on. It different all together. You don't actually see or feel there has been a layer added on

That's slick. Wonder if they can do big pieces like tanks. Let us know how it holds up.
