Carbon is sexy, but kevlar would be a better material

are they going to be 100% carbon fiber? or regular fiberglass with a paper thin layer of carbon on the outside like eline does
if i wasnt so impressed with my plastic skidplate id ask you to make a real Cf skidplate
the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

Pro circuit ,and fmf gnarly are the two pipes that i have here,i just sold my stock pipe so I'd have to find another one to do a stock pipe guard.
I'm hoping we can do them for a bit less money so they are affordable for everybody.we will see after the molds are made.

There will be a couple layers of carbon in these.
They will be better than the other brand for sure.

Not sure what you mean by "covers, for steeles, that mount by the swingarm bolt" unless you mean frame guards?
I'm hoping we will do a guard for the stock pipe,but for now just the fmf and pro circuit pipe are in the works.

It's a mixture of a couple of things,super deep gloss,strong as hell.
Laying one up this afternoon,hopefully we will have one on my bike by the end of the week..
