for our S, made a carbon fibre tail top&bottom and a front light cover
for the moment, it is real carbon but laminated on the Original part.  might be that i will make some more, perhaps complete carbon

hope you like it...

Zero sells an expensive carbon fiber rear cowl.

I like your pieces though

[dubster]

thanks for the replys

problem is the labor cost for these parts, think that is also the problem with the rear cowl from zero...

extra is the not that cheap material cost...

[GNU]

Wow! That looks great!

How much time would you say you invested?
Have you made carbon fiber parts before?

[dubster]

yes, made several carbon parts before

my job includes also a lot of work on cars, motorbikes, ...

for the moment, the parts are laminated on the Original, a mould isn't interesting at this time

planning to make a 2nd pair, will count how many hours i worked on it...

[biolife]

I'm also interested to hear how long this takes - it looks really nice!

[dubster]

will keep you updated

also thinking about making other parts like fenders, ...

Make something to replace the silly storage compartment! I would pay $$$ for a black or carbon fiber locking lid.

2x$$$.
There is enough unused room in there to store my rain suit, lock, and lunch then ride without backpack.

[dubster]

so you would like to get rid of the storage compartment?...



have a 'tank' here, havn't looked at it yet, don't think it will be a major problem to get rid of it...

[krash7172]

No, make it into a real storage compartment like a Honda NC700.

Dubster, if I made a lid out of stainless steel sheet metal, could you use it as a form to produce CF ones?

[dubster]

it is possible to make a template to make carbon parts.

the problem with carbon is time... if i have to make a mold for just 1 item, it costs hours of work! i can also laminate on the original...

ok, technicaly, it isn't a ultra-light piece but just for the looks it is perfect...
