I have to have a CF toilet seat, do they make a matching CF tp holder? A regular tp holder probably would have difficulty keeping up.

Can anyone (insert COURT's name) make an S2 (Tank cover/tailpiece/fairing) out of the same CF they used to make the fender and and belt guard.Also what did this process entail? I spoke with a guy in NY who said he could make one but just needs to make a mold of it first.I'm sure if and when he see's the tank cover he will freak.I kind of like the green/gold look of the stock pieces.Also can the shine be brought back on the air cleaner cover by polishing? or would it need to go through the CF process again.

Sleez:
If you can get one a "UNI-Bit" or similar "step drill" works ok. Drilling will likely cause a surface blemish so using a button head screw or largeish washer will help. go easy and let the bit cut through, just before it breaks through ease up a bit more if you use a twist drill and it hangs up it may mess up your fender, if you know an electrician he will likely have a step drill. Oh and BTW thanks for the CF toilet link
I still laugh about that,
I took the dust catcher off the wall and took a saw and some files to it, it is now on the x1 with the cf lowers, at least for now

BTW- putting tape over the spot you are drilling can help minimize surface splintering and cracking...

Also, using a brad point bit (usually used for wood) works well. The side spurs leave a clean hole.
When used in conjunction with tape, the holes are near perfect.

also what the guys said about tape sacrifical blocks and the brad point drill are all correct

good luck sleez, how a bout a snap of the finished job.

Oldog,
Looks like it was worth the extra effort to make it fit. Looks great. If it wasn't for your posts, I'm not sure I would have stuck with it and made mine work.
