I contacted a company out of the states called carbonfiberracing.com and they had these 3K carbon pieces made for my bike. Everything took them about 3 months to complete and it was worth the wait and the $900 bill shipped to canada from China. Wicked quality and bang on fitment (which is a rarity in the carbon world). For reference, these are not covers, they are direct replacements, so all of the old pieces came off and were replaced with the carbon. What do you think?

P.S they are the only company which I know of that offers every body panel on the vfr in Carbon fiber. So, all you track guys looking to shave some pounds off ye old pig and have the wallet to do so, why not put your viffer on a carbon diet?

I think it is a rarity in the world of aftermarket panels in general.
It looks very good :fing02:

Good looking one. Just realized that I forgot to get the triple clamp to be powder coated.

Thanks for the compliments! I tried not to over do the carbon and have more accents as opposed to the entire bike being carbonized. I think it looks like the bike came like this from the factory (vfr800 carbon edition haha) and that is exactly what I wanted.

I have been looking into pazzo black levers (long) with gold adjusters and black rear sets. I just started a new business and in the process of buying a house so I am trying to configure the spending budget on the bike. Soon, they will be on there... I hope.

I'm also thinking about chopping the factory windscreen and putting it back on so that the dash carbon is visible from the front as the black screen completely blocks out that wicked piece of eye candy. When I do it, I will post some pics, I think it is worth showing considering (as shown in picture 4) it looks wicked!
