Re: Cool Custom Carbon Monkey

That's one of the coolest bikes I've ever seen. Love the different shades of carbon.

Re: Cool Custom Carbon Monkey

That is one of the most beautiful Z's I have ever seen. The carbon, motor, the stance and that exhaust!

Re: Cool Custom Carbon Monkey

After looking at the exhaust more, it's a modded Daytona Scrambler that are now gone. Is it carbon or carbon "look" on everything..........hmmm.

I reckon most of it is carbon look rather than the real deal.

Re: Cool Custom Carbon Monkey

These guys do quite a bit of "one off" modified aftermarket parts and they also make their own parts (which they resell). They havn't put the write up yet on this bike with all the details.. The Engine is probably a NICE big bore, all their bikes seem to have modded NICE Motors (mostly 180cc range). They also build Nice Motors with the Daytona 4 Valve head and of course the takegawa R set up. The sell/use faddybike swingers, along withg G-Craft. Their shop is pretty sick, as are their builds, and these guys have a large inventory (which you don't see very often).

I dig their stuff, they are true enthusiasts, build cool customs and have a ton of experience in bigbore NICE motors, most of their bikes have 170+ cc's and they seem to stay together...

Re: Cool Custom Carbon Monkey

Looks to me that most of that CF work is overlay. Great for the look but does absolutely nothing for weight reduction.

You can have the same effect by simply removing your shoes, the weight will be a wash......
