Author Message   Serialk Posted on Wednesday, March 07, 2012 - 07:54 pm:        I have a fair amount of Genuine Buell Carbon Fiber on my bike. I noticed on my rear hugger after I washed the bike that there is white/grey blemishes in the clearcoat? It would be comparable to what mold looks like... any one know what im talking about and how to make these spots go away? Its like my carbon has an STD...   Dannybuell Posted on Wednesday, March 07, 2012 - 08:08 pm:        the carbon is dying from UV exposure. Sand it off and apply several layers of a quality clearcoat. A quality clearcoat will give you UV protection.   2002carbon Posted on Wednesday, March 07, 2012 - 08:13 pm:        Are you sure it is not hitting the under tray when you hit a bump?   Ratbuell Posted on Wednesday, March 07, 2012 - 09:23 pm:        My S2's greenie air filter cover does that when I wash it - water gets under the clear, and fogs. Let it dry. I also hit mine with some polishing compound (POLISHING, not rubbing), and it takes that topmost layer off. +1 on fresh clearcoat. I think the fog comes from pinholes in the resin, allowing water in. But mine always cleans up OK, so I just forget about it till the next time I wash it.   Dannybuell Posted on Thursday, March 08, 2012 - 12:42 pm:        My #1 riding buddy owns a body shop, quality paints give UV protection. The UV is what kills the clear coat, carbon fiber, paint....

Fortunately I bought one of Al's last cf tank covers.   Preybird1 Posted on Saturday, March 10, 2012 - 11:25 pm:        Man i remember those Tank covers wish i bought one too! And as luck would have it i did get one of his chin spoilers in CF and i ended up trading it straight across for a brand new blue CF chin fairing. So now i have a brand new Blue CF tank cover and chin fairing........The hunt is on for a fly screen now!!   Kyrocket Posted on Sunday, March 11, 2012 - 11:26 pm:        If you want something really rare find one (well, two cause I want one too) of the Japanese CF wind screens with the small pegasus logo in the bottom corner.   Jayvee Posted on Monday, March 12, 2012 - 02:58 pm:        Yeah, another example of screen is here, but "emblem sold separately". I guess ya need to speak the lingo to get one though.   Jayvee Posted on Monday, March 12, 2012 - 03:00 pm:        Is that the Buell factory screen? Another version of screen is here, made by Aella (Cosuno Ltd) but "emblem sold separately" oh well, maybe if you can read it: http://japan.webike.net/products/153441.html   1313 Posted on Monday, March 12, 2012 - 07:57 pm:        Is that the Buell factory screen? The flyscreen in Preybird1's post is the factory flyscreen for a Non-Japan 1999 Carbon Fiber Extreme X1. Here's a pic of the Japanese 1999 Carbon Fiber Extreme X1 flyscreen: I've always had a soft spot for the 1999 CFE X1's... 1313   Serialk Posted on Monday, March 12, 2012 - 08:16 pm:        Whoa Whoa wait a second...There is a Blue carbon fiber???? Mine is Green
