A carbon sleeve from sollercomposites.com - very easy to make... I left the riser rough as I like the "hacked" look

Looks good! Can you take a pick with more of the bike...

Here is a side view. I have a few more things to do:

1. Motowheels upswept exhaust - ordered

2. Oberon Bar end signals - get rid of front and rear signal lights

3. Gold billet reservoirs - will be mounted on rider side of bars

4. carbon sleeves on the large rad hoses

I want to make the bike more like what I think a streetfighter should look like - more hacked up

Does the riser cause the middle of the bar to obscure your view of the dash?

 

[jdurward]

slightly

IMHO today's carbon fibre on cars & bikes is like metalflake paint jobs on '60s muscle cars, a bit overdone...flame away guys...

What exhaust heat shield do you have?

What exhaust heat shield do you have?

It's just another peice of carbon I made up (with heat shield tape on the back) to get rid of the obstructive stock right heel guard. It works well and will do until I get the Motowheels exhaust mounted.

I bet you $20 that within a year you have some sort of custom part on your bike......

I agree.... in 10 or 15 years carbon will look so "turn of the century"... still I really like it!!!!

here's a closer look - note how the plastic dongle that comes with the CRG lane splitters fits nicely into the lower frame hole

If you're referring to me...I'm not against custom parts, in fact I have frame sliders, axle protectors, radiator guards, different grips and am looking for an exhaust...I'm just not that much into bling...

Right. I thought I recognized that CRG tag, couldn't place it though. I have the LS's too.
