    hi
    Has any one had theair Bellypan wrapped in Carbon.
    Does it look legit as I’d like mine done. Would you post a photo for me please.
    Cheers

    I haven't had it done, but just to tip you off, you might suffer from the usual stone chips etc on the front edge of the belly. Once that is marked it will look crap - in my opinion anyway.

    My OCD nature combats that buy shaping a strip of thick, clear book cover (I've since made a template) and sticking over the front edge. Pic below illustrates that it's hardly noticeable, but offers the same effect as a tear off in that you don't spend ages trying to polish out chips or scrape off mud and horse shit!

    Lately I wraped some parts of my bike with a glossy carbon look vynil that pretty much looks like the real deal.

    Hey @F1CT1C10U5 , is there a bolt missing from under the pillion cowl just above the r/h indicator? Oh, and while I'm here, could you replace the rusted screw at the top r/h side of the number plate?:)

    I must say though, you done a great job of the wrap, especially around the double curves of the infill plastics. Cheers!;)

    That photo was taken when my fairings were out to get painted, so... there was a lot more than a screw missing! :p
    Regarding the rusted screws on the license plate, you're right... I must do that some day.
