We've all seen the carbon frame and swingarm covers for our little V4's but ive got this thing for kevlar at the moment. Ive managed to source some pretty trick kevlar air tubes (RVF) and am now considering making some kevlar frame and swingarm covers to match aswell as trying to source/make some kevlar sleeves for the exhaust cans.
Whats people views on this. over the top tat or too cool for skool? For those that dont know this is the colour scheme the bike will be finished in,

I think kevlar will suit this scheme pretty well

i love love love kevlar but if that bike didn't have it i don't think yours should , sorry dude.
now if you can knock up some kevlar/carbon sleeves for my knackered cans i'd think you're the dogs knob mate...

for Kevlar tubes please!
Reckon your going to have to get a single sided full Ethos system to match the AMPM scheme mate!!

You can always count on royster for good honest advice

Kevlar rules in the right place
If i can source a full ethos or TSR then i could possibly be persuded to ditch the SP1 system. Im still going ahead with the kevlar parts even if they go on another bike, its gota be done. And if i do manage to source/make some kevlar sleeve you lads will be the first to know

Tony, agree with more kevlar stuff..all will nicely match together. If you are going to knock up some more air tubes/frame and swingarm stuff out of kevlar please let me know. I can use these stuff too

and will match with the JHA kevlar can

Jas, its all a bit of a learning curve at the moment but picking up some carbon frame covers tomorrow to make the moulds from so kevlar frame covers will be first off the line. Looking for a cheap swingarm cover if anyone has one
The air tubes look a little harder to make but i'll give it a go.

You know what I want....

Try it, improve it, gain knowledge and let me get a full set of those kevlar parts from your hands for my project. I looked at an close up picture of the OKI Suzuka RC45...check out the amount of kevlar used in there.
