Carbon fiber is a weave so it's not really hard at all, it's almost like leather. I've seen carbon fiber cover's not seats themselves. Unless he's talking about like a clear coated hard cf material, i have no idea where you would find that.

I got my seat's re-done with a leatherish type materal that resembles carbon fiber. I had many colors to choose from including traditional carbon fiber. I've felt crabon fiber before and found it very slippery so I don't think it would make good seat material.

I've got a fake Louis Vuitton bag; you can cut it up and make some seat covers if you want. Just as ugly and pointless as CF bits on a bike.

Those are nice. What did the material and labor cost?

klutch- What is the point of all of your negative comments?


Dj- I had the Corbon seat on my F4i. Had a cf look to it, and it was the most comfortable saddle I have ever had. A little on the pricey side but very worth it.
