brads ZB update.

Finally finished my carbon front bikini faring.

I added a Honda decal to it before painting then removed it to expose the carbon.

really not sure whats left with this project. I think it might just be complete.

I just might one day when i have the time. Making carbon tanks is very time consuming.

Re: brads ZB update.

Always thought a all carbon theme comes off looking too poserish. The best carbon body work is some painted and some leaving hte carbon exposed, using it just in highlights. At least thats what i always thought.

That's how I always liked it. CF has been used for ever, it wasn't until recently that it became cool to not paint over it. Love the bike brad, looks killer like all your other machines.

They all start as hunks of flaming poo so the initial cost isnt that bad.

I deal drugs and pimp in the evenings to pay for parts.
