would anybody have a pair of the carbon fibre plates that zip tie to the front of the frame for use with a c/f airbox???
any help would be greatly appreciated,
cheers.

I sadly, dont know an 888 that intimately but, I do know that some places sell sheets of Carbon Fibre - difficult to cut and even more so to shape but could be an alternative?

ps - I'm sure Jasper or someone from the T8 mob will be along soon....

Paul, due to a couple of home issues last night (pesky kids) I didn't get the chance to look - will be out there tonight though and will get back to you.

Paul, just checked - I have a spare carbon plate for the LHS and not the right, this as the RHS plate is a part of the carbon X tube air intake that bolts in front of the headstock.
Let me know if you need the LHS plate.
cheers

Loony888 should take both parts ...

These parts are difficult to find now. I'm always "investigating" to get a couple from Europe, but the opportunities are very very rare.
With the LHS used as a mould, it suddenly becomes easy to make the opposite part.

Original parts perfectly fit the top and low tubes of the frame and have an openig excrescence on the front ...

thanks everyone, i'm definitely gonna grab 851neil's one piece so i'm still on the scrounge for another, otherwise, i'll opt for phils suggestion of making a copy.

I have just had a quick rumage in the loft and it looks like I only have couple of the bits required for a set but maybe I could get some copies made.

rgds, Rob

[loony888]

cheers all,
paul.

Paul,

where did you find the top and bottom? From a shop?
If so, can you tell us which shop?

[loony888]
