it bothers me to look at another hyper and find frame/swingarm stickers and reflectors. Almost like the owner notices it looks like trash but is afraid to take them off. what the hell? do you keep the clear plastic on the backside of the iphone battery so it doesn't scratch up while in the $50 case you buy to further protect it?

carbon looks ok however, you wanted it to look cleaner, but left the stickers on?

in closing, carbon looks ok. i wouldn't get nuts at it though.

Hehehe, that's the first thing I took off (second being those reflectors on the fork tubes...). I don't even know what it really said.

Carbon looks great dood!

it bothers me to look at another hyper owner and find such a sh!tty attitude. Almost like the owner notices he treats others like trash but is afraid to fvck off. what the hell? do you keep the attitude so it doesn't scratch up your ego while others try to enjoy their bike?

carbon looks great however, you wanted it to look cleaner, and it does, but left the stickers on? (to each his own)

in closing, carbon looks great. feel free to get nuts at it.

+1 on the attitude comment. It looks good.

Next off, carbon cannister and reflectors. I also found that if you are careful you can peel off those frame stickers in 1 piece and they can safely live on the back of your owners manual

After reading my post, I'll have to apologize. It does come off as offensive. Sorry OP. I'll try to reconsile by offering a suggestion. Take off stickers carefully and take off seat. Stick them to underside of seat. That way you still have then on bike.

Also, what does the topic of the post say? Rants are as expected as well as raves. +1 for stickin up for your younger sister.

Looks good! I was actually wondering what my bike would look like with all the Red replaced with either carbon or black. I like the way the red frame pops in contrast to the black. I am toying with painting the subframe red also.
