carbon fibre tank

Post by lokiwong »

I think turn the matt black color of my rockster to carbon fibre will be cool. 8)

Where can I buy a carbon fibre tank for R1150R?

Or Should I make it myself?

Do you have experience in making it yourself?

Do you think the following way is practical?

Yes it's practical. It's not easy and depends how good you are with your hands but it's a good guide. You can fill the dents in your tank first and get the shape back. Would look good done properly and you could use matt clearcoat to finish it. Cheaper than a new tank! :)
