Back on December 8th 2011 I ordered a three piece lateral fairing set in 100% carbon fiber from F&F Carbon in Germany.

Well after one minor billing info screw up,one major parts supplier screw up,three promised delivery dates that came and went with no parts showing up at my door,and one very embarrassed and apologetic owner at F&F Carbon who graciously offered to refund the $45.00 that I paid for shipping (which by the way I never got) I can finally say WHOO HOO THERE'RE HERE!!! :whoo:

The finish on these carbon fiber pieces is flawless. You would expect no less for the $230.00 price that you pay for them. ($185.00 + $45.00 shipping) Nuff said.

The fit is typical aftermarket carbon fiber,which is to say it's very close but it doesn't quite fit exactly. In this case only the mounting holes for the fasteners needed to be opened up just a tiny little bit. A minute or so of work with a rat-tail jewelers file on those mounting holes and you're good to go. Other than that the panels fit beautifully.

That's not a knock on F&F Carbon either. To be honest there really hasn't been a single piece of aftermarket carbon fiber that I've installed on any of my bikes that fit perfectly straight out of the box. They always seem to need some sort of minor finishing work done on them. It just seems to be the nature of the material. :unsure:

Sharp eyed VFR enthusiasts will probably notice that the left side cover panel hangs down a bit toward the back of the panel and doesn't seem to line up properly with the rear subframe rail in the first three pics. That's because I don't have the little rubber strap that secures the flip-up battery hinge which that left side cover panel mounts to installed in these pics.

Just wanna give a shout out to forum member TomVFR23 for turning me on to F&F Carbon. :thumbsup:
Trials and tribulations aside,these panels were worth the wait my friend.

Okay and now the answer to the question that no doubt all experienced battle hardened 6th gen. VFR800 owners will inevitably be asking me.

Ladies and gentlemen the answer to your question is 1. :mmph:

(Sidenote) For any of you inexperienced newby 6th gen. VFR800 owners and those of you out there in VFRWorldland who have never owned a 6th gen. machine the question that my fellow experienced battle hardened 6th gen. VFR800 owners just asked me was "Hey Stosh,so how many of those %*#^#@ stupid cheap plastic Honda panel fasteners did you manage to break while installing your cool new carbon fiber side cover panels? :lol:

Thanks Tom.

I don't have any recent pics of my Jokermobile with the fairings on but here's an old pic of how it used to look.
The bike is going to look very different from this when I'm done.

LOL! Well that only took 2 1/2 months this time around.

Back on October 27th 2012 I ordered a cockpit dash panel in carbon fiber from F&F Carbon,and today it finally arrived.
Needless to say I'm totally stoked! :whoo:

It's almost a shame that you really don't get to see much of this panel as most of it is hidden under the windscreen.

Thought I'd share this with you now my friends so that you could all see it in it's natural state,because for the moment I'm planning on painting it. Enjoy.

WHY IN THE NAME OF EVERYTHING THAT IS HOLY WOULD YOU PAINT THAT BEAUTIFUL PIECE?!?!? :chaingun:

I know you have an idea for the bike, so to each their own I guess... otstir:

:redface:

He paints them cause they are "paintable"..........sorry Stosh. Couldn't resist that one.

So I figured it up... if I could scrape together a mere $4k (figured almost another $1k for shipping), I could completely bathe my bike in CF, with every CF component they make.

I need to start a fundraiser. LOL
