Default Carbon Fiber street bike

I know this probably isnt the forum but just wanted to share..

Well guys it's arrived, after a full month of waiting for my "carbonfiber" body from A-mars.com or OSKbodykit on ebay... it if finally here for you guys to Bitch, Hate, Like, and want.

Now first off this stuff looked good right out of the package, coming from Hong Kong I wasnt expecting much.

After I started putting it on I realized there are no tabs for the tail light except the bottom one which i had to drill out.

Tail section was a bleeotch to get on, I had to remove some brackets and install them after it was on. And there is no tabs to mount the lock for the rear seat.

The front Headlight pieces blew for fitment I had to trim and drill. And stuff still isnt 100%

The sides and belly were so-so for fitment but in all you guys can be the judge on this stuff.

I personally like because I spent the money on it.... Would I do it again?.....

Probably not unless its a high quality company.


Pictures would be better but we just got 5" of snow here in milwaukee so new pictures will be coming in a months time.

**OLD PIC**



Transformation


















**This should be about where the rear wheel will sit after the stretch**

looks killer man, nice work, putting a huge rear tire in the rear and doing the wheels in cf would make that bike perfect in every way, my buddy just did a stretch and a fat tire on his and that look is killer, i was shocked on how much it cost to do that though, still great work and nice bike

I always wanted a zx10/11, or a gsx-r 1000 (brother in law has one, and I love it). What did you have?

Looks great, too bad the tank was CF as well. Nice work, it sucks that the aftermarket China kits don't fit like OEM

that sucks it tipped over, i miss my 06 zx10, currently i have an 06 636 but that is mainly for the wife after the lsx cobra is together i'll be getting me either another 10 or possibly a 14, i say i want a big bike for comfort, but they are not as fun as a liter bike, liter bikes are ridiculous i love having to fight the front end til 130plus lol back when i lived in orlando (went to MMI) i was 18 had my zx10 and had never ridden a busa, got on my buddies busa expecting to be scared, ya it was fast, but my 636 is harder to control lol. i used to stunt and still love to kill the streets so dont know if i am quite ready for a big bike.

If you dont feel ready dont worry one day youll over come it when you have skills that improve.

when I rode my friends busa my exact words were.. "Thats it, wheres the bottom end"... as I hoped back on my bike I said ... " lets ******* race I dont believe your bikes faster" HEAD TO HEAD.. Had him to 160ish as he slower passed me by a bike.... Im like hahah.... ******.

i think you misread my post, i prefer the liter bike (zx10r) because it takes more skill to ride, when i rode the busa, it was BORING, ya its fast, but its super tame, iv had a zx10r and loved everything about it, when i say i think about getting a big bike, i refer to zx14 or busa, that choice would be about comfort and trying to act like an adult and ride less wheelies lol. right now i have a 636 that is lowered 3" in the rear and 2 in the front so my wife can ride it, and i still wheelie it im just very careful when i land them. when i say i ride wheelies, i mean i used to parking lot stunt, i can wheelie on idle. i still love to rock the streets there is something very satisfying about rolling a 30mph seat stander or footback through town in traffic for a mile lol. or rolling 5-6 mile wheelies down the interstate. Interstate wheelies are fun but any throttle jockey can figure that out going slow is where its AT!!!! nothing like being able to wheelie slower than in town traffic or the first time you catch idle or the first time you scrape the 12 bar, and best of all the best thing IS pulling in the clutch and rolling revlimiter COASTERS!!! sorry for the rant lol
