    It's not my cup of tea. I'm not a big fan of matt black carbon fairings.
    Can't beat paint.
    Each to his own I suppose.
    Enjoy the bike now you have it finished.

    I know it wasn't going to be everyone's cup of tea, but everyone else normally goes for gloss carbon and didn't want to be a sheep and follow what everyone else does.

    I prefer the Matt look myself,in paint aswell,only thing that spoils it for me (and without reading the whole thread not sure if it's part of the plan) is the bottom belly pan.other than looks very nice,and very expensive to repair if it slides down the road.....;)

    Cheaper than oem to be honest, oem repair would have been £2600 I've done this for.about a grand

    am undecided about the belly pan at the moment
