Finally, a carbon fiber set that has a noticeable impact on weight.

Still not worth whatever they're asking. LOL

I sure wish that stuff wasn't so spendy. I'd rather reduce weight than have more power (for now, I'll get to the power) but there's just not enough benefit to it for the money.

Diet and exercise. Much cheaper than carbon fiber and you'll lose more combined weight that way than you ever would with CF!

I have made some carbon bits for my XB9 and those look really thick compared to the layup I used. Like 3x thicker. It just looks bulky in the pics.

You would be surprised how inexpensive carbon cloth is.

Darthane, combined weight of 1 pound for the fairing and support? That isn't a weight savings???? On the front end even????

Black_Sunshine, knowing Kosman racing, they build their stuff to last.

Chaser that is the body work for prostreet drag bikes. Bikes running tube frames and 160CI engines : D

Hey Donnie says it best..."its only dirty paper..."

Eh? I said that this was a kit that finally DID save significant weight, but face it, if you took off ten or fifteen pounds from dieting it wouldn't cost you a damned cent and you'd save more weight than the carbon kit.
