Red to black/carbon conversion

[the_rook]

Over the last few months I've been enjoying riding my red Hyper around the great roads of Switzerland, The Black Forest and the Alsace region. I've also thoroughly enjoyed frequenting this forum and - thanks to you all - I've spent some cash modding my bike mildly (twin Termi's, racing seat and some beautiful CF from Shift-Tech).

I'm now thinking to change the body work of my bike to black, or perhaps even carbon, as I love the look of black on the red frame and such a conversion is probably easier/ less expensive than buying a black S and changing the frame...

Could any of you good folks who've already done this please give me a quick financial reality check, post some images of their bike and provide links/hints on what is required...?

Thanks a million in advance!

I was thinking of doing this too but have held off. I see the front nose piece, side panels, and rear spoiler in carbon all the time on Ebay. I'm guessing you could buy all the parts including shipping for $600-$700 US.

It will look awesome too!

Cheers

I've done this due to a track day high-side, at but the moment the hyper is disassembled in my living room...

I get some details when it is not so late... and some pics when it is back together, if someone else doesn't post first.

Here's a pic I found. It would look better is the sub frame was also red.

Agree with that, looks very very nice.

Looks GOOD the way it is, I like the silver or aluminum look of the subframe, it matches the engine! Aloha Alex

Hmmm, I am thinking about the carbon conversion now, actuallly its cheaper than a good paint job. and would look sexy-light!
