Finaly fitted!

**Matt-T28** · 13 Jul 08, 05:23 PM

Hiya folks,
as some of you will know i have had a lovely carbonfibre fairing for my bike for a while now but never actualy fitted it, it wasn't trimmed to fit for pembrey and i didn't see the point in fiting it for the rain at brands, even tho it was ready to fit.
Thanks to a lot of hard work from ChrisP, it now fits perfectly.

So today when I opened the van doors and saw the bike, i thought, what the hell, time to give a fresh set of clothes!

and here it is, doesn't look any different to the other one really apart from the lack of stickers at the moment, but christ, it weighs next to nothing!!!

Well just you do not go and break it at Donny, otherwise your hand will be digging into your pocket

Very nice Matt

Bloody hell Matt. Every time I try to do something to make our bike more competetive you go and do something outrageous like carbon fibre bodywork. It's all getting too much. Do us a favour and let TP beat you at Donny otherwise he'll be wanting some. Looks good though. Just don't drop it.

Hiya Franco,
yeah its one of daves fairings fella, I kid you not, the belly pan is so light, before it was painted, i put it on the floor to take a photo, and the slightest little breeze started carrying it away!

And the half carbon corsa style mud guard isn't finished yet either lol.

if you and chris get on the cycling diet, you'll get blown away in the breeze so watch out!

**nogaromill999** · 13 Jul 08, 09:12 PM

I think the 'soft focus' pics are an attempt to hide something......

Steady on there young lady, it's the pie boy that needs the exercise, not me, I was just humouring him when he suggested that tonight

, anyway, I am lighter than he is, so i do not need the exercise

Oh, bugger. For heavens sake, someone find a way to distract Matt so I can pinch the pretty carbon or I'll never hear the end of it from Ollie.
As a matter of interest, Matt, what is the weight saving?

Steady on! There'll be no letting anyone beat anyone!

And when do I get my carbon fairings? Hmmm???

I'm on it. I've got some carbon left over from a BBQ. Just need a bit more and a mould and we'll be there.
