justa6 08-25-2004, 09:55 AM Im looking for a REAL carbon fiber tank not a tank pad or anything like that i found a site with all the carbon bodywork i need and the carbon fiber rims but the tanks are rare and i havent been able to find any. If you know of a site let me know. Or if you think that going with carbon fiber is a bad move let me know too
skibum91 08-25-2004, 09:57 AM what bike is it for? and I really want to do all carbon on my stuff but am limited by the money.
justa6 08-25-2004, 11:41 AM its on an '01 600, Yes you heard right justa 600 why do you think my name is justa6 ;)
skibum91 08-25-2004, 11:55 AM well they made 600's from 86-04. so...
justa6 08-26-2004, 06:14 AM its a 2001 what do you think about the carbon fiber and do you know where i can get a tank
GixxerG 08-26-2004, 02:18 PM I think U are going for the Carbon Fiber Tank because the weight ?.... if yes
better change your bike for a 2004 gsxr600 and the bike total weight are going to be the same if not less.
my 0.02 cents

freak_accident 08-26-2004, 06:55 PM carbon fiber is an expensive venture!!! rims with magnesium hubs and carbon fairings... $$$$$$ I have seen a couple of full carbon fiber race tanks on ebay every now and then try looking there from time to time. I had the same Idea... Way too expensive for my blood!!! Hey maybe if i start donating other bodily fluids i can save enough.... :D

even better that 2500 is in Austrialian dollars which means it would only cost us $1500-$1600 for the kit plus shipping which makes it a heck of alot cheaper
skibum91 08-27-2004, 09:19 AM I wanna get it i just don't have the money. I would if I could though.
justa6 08-27-2004, 10:43 AM yeah its a little pricey but it will be worth it :D
skibum91 08-27-2004, 10:45 AM I agree, if i could scrounge up the money I will definatly get it, but right now Paying for MOTO GP is more important.
bigjimbo 08-27-2004, 12:30 PM When i get home ill post the pic of the 1k with the complete kit. It looks so sharp i almost went out and bought the bike to look like it. CF rims are really expensive and unless your racing I think they are pointless
skibum91 08-27-2004, 12:52 PM they are about $3500 for the pair, and its either looks for performance for the reason.
bigjimbo 08-27-2004, 05:28 PM R1's look like crap with it the gsxr look awesome
justa6 08-28-2004, 06:11 AM DAmn that makes me want to order the shit right now! :thumbup:
freak_accident 08-28-2004, 07:24 AM http://oppracing.com/main.php might be there i know they have carbon stuff for my bike...
This site has everything!!!! Never seen so many goodies in one place. :bowdown:
moto182003 08-28-2004, 12:45 PM yeah the site is cool if i had all that money to piss away i would, but for the price of the cf bodywork and rims i could buy a new bike...
Got2josh 09-19-2004, 05:51 PM Besides saving weight, doesn't carbon fiber absord rader, meaning that it makes it harder for rader guns to detect you from long range? If that's true, carbon fiber is my new best friend.
