I like Carbon Fiber, I think just about every motorcycle in our garage has a piece or two in Carbon Fiber. We never go over the top with using it, it's one of those motorcycle things......you either love it or hate it. With all of that said, I'm pleased to soon be offering the Freedom Sprocket Guard we sell in 100% real Carbon Fiber. The material I'm using comes from the USA and is a 5mm thick laminated solid plate. The 5mm is thicker than the .095 6061 Laser Cut Aluminum normally used for the Freedom Sprocket Guard. It's also about 1 ounce lighter for those of you that care about these things. It should offer all the protection of the Aluminum unit, and if you are partial to Carbon fiber, add a little exotic bling to your bike. I've already sold a few in the prototype batch, these were cut from a matte sheet. I'll also be offering a Gloss unit as well as soon as I get the layout on my Shapeoko CNC milling/carving machine the way I want it. Carbon Fiber is murder on milling bits and I've recenty purchased some Diamond like coated 1/8" bits to help out with cutting them out. I'm only going to charge $5 more for the Carbon Fiber guards to keep things reasonable for my customers. They are not giving this stuff away at roughly $100 for a 12" x 12" sheet. I'll try to get some cut and photos on out website and here ASAP. I'd also like to utilize the waste bits with a keychain fob of some sort that would come with your Carbon Fiber Guard as an Added Bonus.....I'm thinking something simple like WR250R engraved on the carbon fiber? Any ideas?
Drop me a note if you are interested or just want to spruce up your old kit with a new guard and look. There is no difference in function or mounting.
Thanks again for all the support!
Safe Journeys,
