Let's spend some more of my money as a group!! (More carbon opinions needed)

[SS4Luck]

So, I have a thing for carbon fiber as most people here have seen. And I think I need some more of it.

I've always debated on some of the rear trim needing to be switched out to carbon and I finally found someone who did it and now the wheels are spinning. This dude from PR did the rear trim, cowl and center rail section piece in carbon and I'm thinking of doing the same, plus the knee panels and the ram air covers. Id do this and keep the red in the nose, the fairing vents and the rear spoiler. In my head the carbon would flow along the top of the bike and still keep enough red for it not to look out of place.


Sample photos:

Knee panels from my friend Colts built, but I would leave the fairing panel white:

I haven't found anyone with carbon ram air covers to reference for pics tho

Here is one of the most current photos of my bike to help visualize. Since these photos I have added a carbon seat pan as well as a motorfix carbon taillight replacement:

Pieces that would be done in carbon circled in orange, lighter orange parts already purchased, I also have red core motors that are about to go on, with both a brake and sprocket side carbon aerodisc for the rear wheel lol:

How about a CF chain guard? And put the brake rotor back on.

Can't go wrong with Carbon!

When the core moto wheels go on ill be putting both front rotors back on (Galfers) but that is only because the bike will be turbod by then. The rear will never go back on the bike.

If we are spending your money, my vote is for CF....go nuts....

A full CF body kit could be something to look at as well....Keep your red accents though.

I like it, carbon it up!

I would consider more gloss or matte(invisible) clear coating done on the knee panel areas after you get them.
It won't take much to make small scuffs, scratches, or even haze from your pants contacting there.
Given how nice that cf looks, it will easily show flaws in it's finish.

I have changed all my red accent panels to carbon on my bike. Now it looks like the MooreMafia Hyperbusa, but with carbon instead of matte black wrap. It looks badass. Also just ordered the titanium colored CoreMoto wheels to sort of match the gray metallic paint.

My vote is: Do it!

Also, where did you find the chain side aero disk??? I've been looking, but apparently not hard enough...

I vote you get front fender in carbon too..... Also there is a carbon under pan section that is way more aero.

Oh yes please. I've been looking for something like that to cover up some of the exhaust piping. Thank you!

In my opinion, if you want to spend well money in CF, get a CF wheels.

 

[Dustin02]

About those wheels though... I've heard they only last 3 years and are easy to crack. $4k every 3 years for wheels is little ridiculous. That's why I went forged aluminum.

I've seen a few BST's crack over the years.
And @HayaWakened broke one of his BST's last week...which has to be a pretty sickening thing to see...
It seems that one good pothole is all that it takes.

Catalyst makes full carbon race fairings, but they don't make a turbo version yet that has the ram air blocked off. Once they do the plan is to switch to that. They have a 1 piece carbon +4 tail in the works too.

7 years and 143,000kms on BST’s here, seen every road type and not one issue so far.

No issues at this time. Always I have been using rotobox

Obviously if the pothole is the size of the holes that the moon has, of course they will break.

I was going to have that piece wrapped with PPF before I put it on. The company I'm looking st removedbthe hash marks so I can get film to lay flat and nice
