Carbon Fiber? Or not to Carbon Fiber? :)

[Venomous]

Well, I'm pretty sure I'm gonna add some CF accents to my bike. Does anyone have some good leads on where to get quality CF parts? I ride a Yamaha R6. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

i did the same for my bike back in 2001 when i got it. triple tree, fuel cap, tank pad and rear hugger. I just shopped around since they are all over the place.

Check with sportbiketrakgear and see what they have. I know' ive seen tankpads etc there in the past.

I see you are in west Bloomfield, you can also check out Motorcity to see what they have.

Do a search on eBay for 05 R6 carbon fiber. Comes up with a lot of carbon fiber pieces for your bike. Here is the link, just in case:

Their telephone number and fax number are the 1800 411 information line. It doesnt say anything at all about Yamaha's, just Ducati, Kaw and Honda. I sent them an email.

Anybody ever deal with superbikestore.com? They are in Ann Arbor I guess. Their stuff looks nice on the website, and I could go look at it in person instead of buying blindly on Ebay.

I called them and asked if I could come up there and take a look before I purchase and he said no problem. Their website says they've been doing this for like 24 years or something. Apparently they go all over and sell their stuff and people seem pretty happy with it. The guy I talked to seemed pretty knowledgable and I bugged him with 3 different phone calls. For the 3 parts that they have readily available for my bike (chain guard, front and rear fenders) it's $600!! LOL Yikes..

Then at OPPracing.com, the clutch cover, engine cover, oil pump cover and shark fin guard it's $360.

There's another $1000 for the bike!!

I have delt with Superbikestore in AA before.
He ordered what I wanted and at a super price and I just went to his house and picked it up from him.

He is also at Mid Ohio for the vintage races and the AMA Superbike races.

A good guy.
