Why is the forum so dead today??  :-\
 
I guess I'll bump this thread to inspire some winter projects for folks...  ;) :chugbeer:

I'm sick today, but not so much I couldn't go juice the battery a little.......on the stationary charger that is. 

It's a nice day for Oregon standards for this time of year.
Next month's  projects include: new seat, tires that don't give me the heebies in a wet turn and coming up with new excuses to go the long way to the market ::).

I have to come up to PDX in three weeks or so to scope out a pool table, might have to stop by ZG and eyeball your seat if possible, contemplating a Laam or Corbin.

Bike porn indeed Chet!! After owning a couple dozen bikes in my life this is my first full Ohlins setup ever, I'm stoked!!  ;D 
 
Mama and girls are out of town this week, is it wrong that I put these on mama's side of the bed for tonight??

I, for one, am hereby boycotting this thread from this point on.  It is a way too ridiculously cool bunch of modifications that I can only dream of perhaps one day affording.  If I win the lotto. Twice...

Okay!!!  This just hit me!!!!   How FREAKING cool would it be if you could come up with a light that runs along the bottom edge of the black plastic under the shield.  A light...  JUST LIKE KITT's FROM KNIGHT RIDER!?!?!

I just want to know what's next?  I think Jay should find some digital gauges or have them custom made and surrounded by CF, maybe make a shelf of sorts for all his other doo dads to blend everything together for a clean look.

You ahould do all hand laid CF bodywork. Imagine the weight savings......You could always pull a John Britten and make your own CF wheels too. That would help the handling of this bike so much.

There was a vendor doing carbon fiber if you sent the parts in to them.  NinjaWarrior1400 had that done with some of his bodywork.  I don't know if that information was lost on the old forum or still resides here.  I'll take a peak when I get time today.

Here's the link to where he was selling the bike and accessories.  It does say where they were done, though.

That's not actual carbon fiber. That's just an overlay on the original parts that simulates the look of carbon fiber, so there would be no weight saving just a signifigant increase in the CDI factor.

Yep, you're spot on.  However, if you are looking for the look then this might be one way to go.  As someone mentioned earlier, a true CF piece would be very expensive to fabricate I would think.
