So...it's not ACTUAL carbon, just covers?

I'm sure I am in the minority but I just don't understand carbon fiber covers. Isn't the point of carbon fiber to make a part / bike lighter? How does adding carbon fiber on top of a part accomplish this? Don't get me wrong, it looks nice it just seems to be defeating the purpose.

Too much "carbon fiber" for my liking. But to each his own

Nice, But I would have stuck to the same weave as the exhaust.

I'll weigh in here as I'm big fan of carbon fiber. I just want to add that carbon fiber covers are lighter and more durable in a crash than plastic covers and in the example of bg case covers I think the extra protection is worth the difference in price.

Here are some pics of my bike, I have some carbon fiber covers as well as some actual parts in carbon fiber.







Carbon fiber subframe



Carbon fiber clip on tubes



Also Fren Tubo carbon fiber brake lines, tank sliders, heel guards etc

I still have a few things on the list like front fender, gas cap, faring stay, race bodywork and a few more covers but the carbon fiber quest never ends now that places like CarbonDryJapan.com
can cover just about anything in carbon fiber.

Holy crap man!

Where did you get the CF sub frame? Was it a custom job or actually made prior?

How do you find the handling with all the CF? Esp with a CF sub-frame and handlebars? Do you find more vibration makes it though?

That's an awesome find! 15 mins up the road...

Glad to hear the benefits are hugely noticeable.

Totally agree with Leo Vince, great quality as well. Good choice going for bolt on parts.

Ah, never knew the Ducatis had a major issue with vibration. Ducati parts are like 400% marked up...
