Member Contributer didit Posted March 21, 2007 Author Member Contributer Share Posted March 21, 2007 Having said that, I must add that you did a really nice job with your phony, fake, stick-on vinyl carbon-fibre-look stuff. But why didn't you try it with fake wood grain??! :beer: You mean like Burlwood? Then it would look too much like a BMW and my turn indicators would stop working. Thanks for the complement. Comming from you (as tough as it is for ya) it means alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddie Posted March 22, 2007 Share Posted March 22, 2007 If anyone is interested I have all three pieces from Honda Europe, bought 1 extra set that I thought would be used later but is sitting in the original boxes ready to be used. PM me and let me find the price these. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest vfrmonkey Posted March 23, 2007 Share Posted March 23, 2007 Anyone read the gag article in last months' MC? They featured fake CF along with Biker Ballz, VibeRider and a few other purely esoteric bike upgrades... I actually like the vinyl CF, a local shop here in the metropolis of Suwanee does custom CF overlays and mold work... they are making some parts for the cage as we speak...

Guest Hurricane249 Posted March 28, 2007 Share Posted March 28, 2007 but it looks a little too clark griswald for me. :angry: Picture the Family Truckster with fake CF instead of fake wood. Trace you have to buy a Chrysler K-Car Wagon and try that. You would be the envy of the neighborhood. :goofy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer benSV Posted March 30, 2007 Member Contributer Share Posted March 30, 2007 I see the tapeworks prices as: $20 - 2 sheets of 14"x10" $40 - 1 sheet of 14"x47" $70 - 1 sheet of 29"x47" You could probably get real carbon fiber and apply that instead for a similar price. And you might be close to getting enough material to actually build a real CF dash. I found the following prices just now for the real thing: $26 - 2 sheets of 11"x8"x0.015" - 0.78oz each $47 - 2 sheets of 11"x16"x0.015" - 1.55oz each $96 - 2 sheets of 11"x32"x0.015" - 3.1oz each 0.015" is listed as something you can cut with scissors, perfect for cosmetic applications like this. You can get a $20-30 bottle of epoxy that would last a long long time. Not commenting on the worth of fake carbon fiber.. just noting that the Tapeworks stuff is a HUGE scam compared to the real thing. You could probably do several triple tree covers with only a single 11"x8" sheet for $13 and some glue, you wouldn't even need to use real epoxy. Damn every time I check the prices I want to try it.. and I know I could even get free epoxy from my Dad as he's got a 2 gallon kit for boat stuff that he'll never use up. edit: Just checked that particular vendor will pre-apply adhesive for you for $2.95 for an 11"x8" sheet. So all you need to do is cut out your shape and then peel the adhesive backing off, no need to mess with glue/epoxy. Exactly the same setup as the fake stuff.
