Justintoxicated Posted January 8, 2004 Report Posted January 8, 2004 carbon fiber is brittle. Hell I didn't know that, I thought that it would be stronger. I would think that if you got clear plastic and painted the inside that it would look good, very shiny and scratch resistant yea you could airbrush some really cool designs on it too, But I wonder how strong the clear plastic s in comparison?

streetshee Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Posted January 8, 2004 im no profi at carbon but if u use a special hybrid mix of carbon/kevlar it does give a little,but i think if u rolled it ud hurt it!! dont roll it. if u roll any trick shee ur gonna have to pay for it anyway. the best in kit,dont come cheap! i think them fenders are only carbon lookalike,not real,but carbon has to be real otherwise its shit! my view is that i hate stickers and fake carbon,cheap imitations,why bother? all or nothing,my shee is totally stickerless,only blue,i know its a banshee and that yamaha made it,if anyone wants to know what it is,ask,innit?! but i confess to realy liking the yamaha of troy chrome dragon limited ed set,dont think ya can get em anymore? evil i find out what they cost an letcha know,seeya. has anyone heard of teflon coatin pistons? my boss uses it on 4 strokes,but hes no king on 2 strokes,i dont think its good on a 2 stroke? what do u think everyone?

streetshee Posted January 8, 2004 Author Report Posted January 8, 2004 as ive just found out,it depends on what type of "weave" and resins u use, and for what the part is for,carbon can be built to be flexible and strong,yeh of course(dont think)not as flexi as plastic.we also talked about taking some 450 plastics,modifying and moulding them to fit a shee,think that would be wickid!!! they are not as wide as the shee so i dont think ud damage em too easy? i mainly rid street with streetires lowered ect so i aint gonna roll mine full carbon 450 shee Quote
