So I won a "carbon fiber" front fairing for my CR for $.99 on ebay! I thought that was a great deal, even with the $30 shipping LOL.

Pretty sweet looking.


Hey what's the sticker?


Oh good, it passed QC!


I think I got what I paid for.
I'm happy with it though.

Doesn't look too bad! I bought a hugger for my S3 off ebay, it was twisted so bad i couldn't even mount it!

Chinese stuff is usually passable, albeit not great, as far as bodywork goes. The parts on Kicka666's CR look pretty nice, at least in the pictures!

Normally I don't dig on carbon fiber too much but my god that bike looks awesome. The CR-ness is really what makes it good. I'm jelly man what a badass machine.

Danny, I made it from some aluminium mesh you get at the auto store.

What I'd like to know is why does everyone's exhaust look so nice while mine has become beautiful Harley blue all the way from the cylinder exists to just above the OEM muffler connection.... And yes, I only let it warmup until the "CT COLD" message disappears... some guy once told me you might foul the plugs if you don't.

Captjoe, did you correct the fueling after changing your exhaust?
