carbon carbon

#1 Post by ReggieGasket » Thu Nov 26, 2009 5:34 pm

I want to buy a carbon front mudguard and a hugger. I want top quality and for them to match each other. Any ideas on manufacturer?

cf front - mille from skidmarkx etc

cf rear - rocking horse poo UNLESS you have done the mille swing arm - then see above


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

NWS is quality stuff. I have one of their fibreglass huggers and it's excellent.

I had a carbon NWS hugger and was very happy with it.
Now sold on to another forum member ... as they don't fit with a Mille swinger.

Genuine Aprilia is probably the best stuff and will match perfectly of course but but oh its so pricey!

If your not in a hurry they often come up on fleabay though

I see Skidmarx do both front mudguard and hugger in CF for the Falco - £99 and £139. Now I'm tempted.
