Carbon Wrap

[rac3r]

I know BCF are not really fans of farbon but I think this bike has been done really well and seeing as most people do it purely for looks I'm sure it's a lot cheaper. And if you do the stuff yourself it actually involves some skill!!

I'd like to try it on a few small pieces to see how hard it is and how it comes out.

I like carbon stuff but the prices on some parts are ridiculous, especially as you would be buying it pretty much only for cosmetics

Unsure if gloss... I'll cover something with a few scraps tomorrow and photo it.

I suppose it depends if you view it as a nice colour/finish/texture to have on a bike or as a lame attempt to look like you have carbon parts when you don't.

As a glorified paint scheme it looks nice enough.

Thats not carbon wrap in the max power chav boi stylee. It is not a laminate vinyl film - aka carbon wrap/ Farbon.

It is actual Carbon weave laid over the parts and then fully lacquered, so basically it IS real carbon, just not solely Carbon.

Looks awesome tbh!

Looks nice, but the extra money spent on that tells me that classic painted piece of plastic would be more like it

I'm pro every change that has a reason. Take down some 3kg or less from an open road bike is just ridiculous attempt to increase the value of the motorcycle. And if this is just an sticker, then I don't know what is going on here. Chrome is, for me, chapter of its own

It seems to me, that this whole carbon composite madness is just some next fashion wave, that would end some day.

Personally I like it when there are small details that are in carbon. Little bits here and there which you notice close up
