That looks superb, wouldn't mind having that.

I also like how you got the bike bicycle locked to that pole lol.

Is that vinyl? I like that look but don't feel like dropping 500 bones for real panels from a tech. Yours looks killer.

LOL thanks yeah that pole isnt going anywhere so unless they cut the cable my bike isnt either.

@jiu jitsu yes its a foil from 3M yeah 500 dollars is ridiculous its not available in stores that I know of I got it from a member on my cars forum he had the company ship him some (a very large amount) and he has been shelling it out to us other members to add accents to the interiors of our cars. Im guessing it would cost alot to get the type of roll he purchased.

Yup, looks cool. I'm wondering how it'll stand up to a season of summer heat and wear.

How much for enough CF to cover the swing arm, chain guard, triple tree, and the "dashboard" or the black thing around the gauges? Ship to Covina, Ca 91722?

this is a very old thread that got dug up because of my carbon fiber foil

Wow, stickers, that is one way to do it.... good alternative considering the ease of application and price.

Is that a gold chain around your neck?

tc3jg
August 27th, 2009, 10:56 PM
LOL stickers? Alternative I repainted the entire bike a flat metallic blue.
the carbon fiber vinyl foil is only used as accents and the only part it Covers is the red tank.
Yes its a gold chain.

I'll give you props on the bike, but gotta rag on the chain ;)

All kidding aside, I do like the flat black on the recessed V portion of the side fairings.

LOL thanks....the chain was a graduation gift and its a small non gaudy chain with a cross, that is more sophisticated than that big fake stuff...its a generation thing....

but yeah i thought it looked nice there to gives the bike a more expensive look even if it is only a sticker.

i would have to take a measure but i charge 60+shipping for a 4x2 foot sheet id guess you would need an extra 1x2.5 -3 foot sheet added to that to cover and leave room for mistakes
