Welcome to the site Bob!

We have at least one member with over 100k miles on his. Give us a mechanical report on the "winter beater". How's it held up?

Now that you mention it, I do recall seeing one for sale on eBay a while back, can't remember where it was from though... Have you look at Thurn out of Germany?

ive got a german (thurn) one on the yellow storm now, its fibreglass & much smaller than the carbon one, theres no mounting brackets on the carbon one, it bolts to original front mounts,rhs foot peg/exhaust mount & side stand mount, some lads over here have moriwaki copy's & they have big metal mount brackets that bolt to sump & look totaly different, im just curious
