I'm looking for a carbon fibre (fiber) cover of the top of the triple tree. The previous owner let the keys scratch it up a bit and I wanna cover it. I searched eBay but didn't really come up with a lot.

Thanks guys.

I ordered mine from the UK. Same reason. Wasn't cheap by any means.
I'd have to do some digging to find the source if u want. Maybe try searching UK Honda dealers.
I seem to recall that's how I found it, sent an email and got a reply in decent time.

mine was messed up, try rubbing compound, it didnt remove all the nicks, but cleaned it up enough i intend to leave it....fwiw.
#4
Hmmm.. I guess I should get some wrap and cut it to fit.

Looks like Dcassidy has a good link( if you get it you might as well get the good stuff).
Also you might want to clean the top with brake cleaner, and when you cover it it will be as clean as they come.

They're kind of pricey but I heard they have quality to back it.  There's several goodies on there I've been drooling over for a while.

Rodney,
Check with forum member SEADOOLOU. He was making some special covers for VFRs a couple of years ago. Might have some extras laying around. He was located somewhere in Michigan.

Hi,

Try Skur carbon from the U.S. great products and good quality. Hope this helps.

I have order for my 6th Gen.
What I got really different from what I expected.
I got the hard-type carbon made (like what they usually make for the carbon exhaust)
I had expected the cover to be made by the soft material (i.e. rubber or plastic) like the Motografix normally do, or the same as the fish-bone tank pad.
However, that's good enough for now.
The item itself cost me $22.99
Shipping to VN cost me $3.

The two pieces in the above pic (triple and gauge cover) are more rigid pieces that come with double sided tape on the back. Just peel and stick. The gas cap and tank protectors are soft sticker type pieces.  I'll look for the link, but its been awhile and I've switched lap tops since.  Its a UK vendor though. I had to wait a few weeks (3 at most) and they gave me a quote on shipped beforehand. I was real happy with the company I ordered from and the pieces.

David Silver Spares has a nice molded version that I purchased about a year ago. Looks better than the one above.
#25
Mine exactly the same!
