Carbon Fiber stuff

Hi, I recently laid down my 2000 tlr and i was thinking i might get a little creative putting it back together. Anyone know of any place that currently makes carbon fiber fairings for a tlr, other than having them custom made? I saw that CarbonFiberParts.net made a few custom parts for a relatively reasonable price. Otherwise, anyplace else that anyone knows of?
Also, besides ronayers.com, is there any other place to go to find reasonable replacement parts (mainly cosmetics) for the TL?
Thanks for any input!

Sebimoto makes some, you can order from some places in Europe or Yoyodyne in the U.S., though for some reason the U.S. prices are higher. Try here: (click) Hope that helps. (NT) -- dgrace (NorCal), 21:50:21 05/19/04 Wed
Aaron, you might want to reconsider. CF has no sense of humor to small dings and which will fracture the resin and looks like hell after even a few minor scrapes. The Erwin8R has a 1 piece CF fairing that cost about $1500. Damage a small section on that and you will be replacing the whole ball of wax. Personally I use stock plastic so I can just replace the panel I damaged. Right now I'm on my third set of bodywork which I guess ain't all that ecomonical since I usally need to replace every panel on the bike anyhow.

- Russ, stop lying! Your bike is in a thousand pieces spread out all over your garage. You'll be lucky to have it running by NEXT season. (NT) -- WickdTL, 02:02:20 05/20/04 Thu

    - Yeah squid... I suggest you apply some of this miraculous knowledge to your own TLR which hasn't seen the light of day in how many years now? Just get your own mess cleaned up... having a 0% uptime average for your entire garage is nothing to be proud of... (NT) -- ~ Prozac ~, 13:35:44 05/20/04 Thu
