Sadly my name comes from the girlfriend who calls it the 'cash burner', not because of bling or trick but the repair bills

Baines Racing can do this mod (invisibly) to your standard cans, and they certainly sound 'frutier' afterwards. My own bike has had this done - in conjunction with the airbox mod and fatter chip. The bike is now more responsive at all revs, and it has never been a problem at MOT time. (However, a noticeable performance improvement can still be felt when DP carbon cans are fitted).

Appearance is down to personal taste, and I prefer the look of the bike with the original cans fitted. They're less of a target for opportunist thieves too. (The cans on an 888 can be removed very quickly!)

(When it comes to 'must have' accessories, maybe we're all just slaves to marketing hype? After all, Titanium is more abundant than Tin. If you want a bike with real 'bling', get yourself some Tin cans fitted!)

now then i know how to make carbon fibre using bits of string & lumps of coal ,anybody interested ..........seriously i am addicted to the stuff got most bits just side panels /nose/tank to go ,not sure about the tank......imagine they could give trouble ,anybody know ?

tanks were available from Casoli I believe but Jasper here had his tank carbon wrapped on his 853, looked awesome .... Madmav is just about to start side panel production and they are looking good and I think theres a nosecone on ebay ......

HTH

I know that Logyk had a lot of problems with petrol leaking from the area around the fuel cap on his carbon tank.....don't know how or if it got sorted.

OOOOHHH What a long thread !!!!

My two pennyworth is ......

I LOVE BLING....There is nearly £4500 worth of aftermarket stuff on my bike, and I am now looking to spend more....hehe..Ohlins is next on the list, and I am a slow riderl, I look fast, and I can get my knee down at will, and I am a wheelie addict, but fast ???? nah not me... Novice group on trackdays.

If Tony is happy with what he has done, BIG UP to ya matey !!!

I am fortunate in that I can afford to do stuff, if I was technically capable of doing i myself, I would, but I cant, I bet most of the replies on here suggesting the guy is a lemon for doing what he has done are from guys like me who do not have the "minerals" to have a go. (There will be the exception to this of course)

Nice one mate, If you are happy, bu**er the lot of em.
