Carbon Fiber Suppliers

[StevenK]

Looking to add some CF bits to my R1200GSA, and I'm considering either Ilmberger or Verholen. I know that Ilmberger is considered the gold standard, but Verholen is a well-respected supplier of parts other than CF. Anyone have any experience as to the quality, fit, and finish of the Verholen Carbon Fiber? Thanks.

It's obvious isn't it

You can lose almost as much weight from your bike as you could by, say, having a really good shit

My mate runs this firm

Got some fairings off him for my TL1000s. Superb quality
Not sure what parts are available as he's expanding the range all the time.
Hth

An improvement to his bike in terms of weight saving, protection & style

Weight? Are you having a larf? Its a fekkin GS.

First rule with losing weight in bicycles and motorbikes: start with the wheels. Rotational mass and all that. Everything else is irrelevant otherwise.

Yup. Thats funny and true. Splash out on a colonic too. And maybe get running or down the gym.

I'm new to the forum, so forgive me if this question has been asked before. When someone shits on your thread, is it considered bad form to tell them to Fuck Off?

Who's shat on your thread and what makes you think that?

Top tip: Get used to the banter and piss taking on here.

I think one or two people were a bit denegrating

If someone wants to fit a bit of CF to their bike, why not?

He might like it for aesthetics only, not weight saving

I have a few CF bits on the XChallenge and my Trials bike has loads of CF, only because it looks trick and in reality serves no real purpose over the alloy equivalent part that it is replacing

It's a compliment for people to shit on your thread!

Just like being offered a snort in LA
