Default carbon fiber bodywork?

i was thinking about replacing all my plastics with carbon fiber pieces.
i found a website that has some of the pieces for my bike (oppracing.com)
but i wanted to shop around a bit .
anyone know of any sites that have complete carbon fiber kits for the 01 f4i?



anyone have any opinions about it or anyone have any carbon fiber pieces on their bike?

hmmmmm. replacing them all, i saw it runs about 1500 to do. You must be made of money. what I did was just put on some carbon fiber decals overtop. and that was like 20 bucks on ebay.

I got my Two Bros. from their website.

http://www.twobros.com/Road.htm

I took the carbon fiber adhesive and applied it to the frame and then took an exacto knife and cut around it. I like to make my bike look not so stock, make it different that everyone else, but thats not hard, cuz there aren't many Hondas where I live.

Try J & P Cycles website @ www.jpcycles.com. They have quite a few carbon pieces at reasonable prices, as well as other accessories for cruiser and sport bikes. Yeah, carbon fiberlooks cool and you can't quite get the same effect with decals. =)

Anyone know if these give more hand clearance than the stock covers?

honestly... in my opinion, you gotta be really careful on how you use carbon fiber. Having a carbon exhaust, and a carbon triple tree cover is cool. Going overboard like oppracing's completely carbon fairings are just overkill. I would prefer a really nice looking custom paintjob over just carbon. overkill on carbon is ricey.

but that's my opinion. don't take it in any way negative... cuz everyone has a different taste.

you really like the way that CF looks? I dont see any interest in that look. I would just paint the bike a crazy color.
