Carefull about the full carbon tank, they wont last long as the gas will eat up the resin holding the carbon together, if this is a daily drive it wont last long, if you race it and drain it completly after each use it should work for a long time. Good luck, #3

Yeah the carbon tank I saw was on a track bike.I asked the owner if it was just skinned.

He pulled off the cap,told me to look inside,then I saw the sunlight through some parts of the carbon fiber,so i knew it was real.

Im sure it gets ate up and brittle over time.

as of now I am getting upper and lower.
I might have to vinyl the tank / rear cowl if I can't find them in cf

damn real cf is gonna cost a fortune....no offense, but real carbon seems kinda much for a non-race bike...or an F4i... nonetheless...i voted for 3....looks cool as hell....
