    I have something similar around my gas cap and I have some real Cf on the top triple, the fake stuff fades, but the real stuff scratched...

    I tried the sticly stuff. Turned out to be a HUGE PITA. I tried to cover the small black plastic piece that hodes my battery. didn't work so well. So I ripped it off & tried again. Still fail. gave up. will live with the scratches.

    The TT Cover that I had on my 95RR lasted the life of the bike.

    With S&H what you are getting is about 2.5 sqft for almost twenty bucks. Application will be a bitch. IMO, it looks more like shelf paper than carbon fibre.

    Lining up those little rectangles even if carefully applied and doublecut just the curves, on the fairing piece would make a neat job really hard if not impossible. Lots of prep too. Self adhesive is pretty meaningless.

    No pix I see of entire fairings done with the stuff and my last question would be how can they give a money back guarantee on something as one time as this stuff? Thats kind of like asking for your bucks back after ya done et the Big Mac.

    save your money unless your going to use it on something flat. Its just contact paper and not good for curves.
