carbon covers

Post by bsabloke »

Chap on facebook making carbon covers, clutch & generator for £58 a pair delivered to uk. He is also working on moulds for frame covers. The more interest he gets the better the chances of getting them made at a good price :thumbup:

They look nice, but don't forget, Carbonadi covers are kevlar reinforced for abrasion resistance.

Worth finding out more about these new ones, bloody nice finish on them though :thumbup:

I had some really nice carbon frame covers on my first storm, think they were made by Harris, not made anymore though, come to think of it I can't remember seeing them on another storm, must have been though. A bit like the Harris belly pan I had, they were hard to get back in 2000, I think the powerbronze is a copy but not quite as good.

Me too ap. He is working on the mould now. All for looks for me. Don't know if they are carbon reinforced or not. I won't matter to me. If i get to test em out, the bike will be beyond repair 8O 8O 8O :crazy:
