    I've never seen CF levers in all my years of browsing of motorcycle parts.

    I have never seen all carbon levers either, only "carbon-look" levers.

    They don't exist. Pretty much impossible to make.

    Not much in aftermarket for performance levers. Other then the crappy CF "look" stuff.

    CRG makes the bomb-diggity levers though. Maybe something could adapt to the VFR?

    Lockhart Phillips has levers, but they're no better then stock -- just available in multi-squiddy colors.

    im not saying they are cheep and tacky they just have a poor lookabout them i mean why have a printed carbon look, although there are some good looking ones on ebay at the mo.

    i have to say i like the look of the levers in your picture though i might have to look in to getting me some of them

    Well we can't have everything in CF, unfortunately. It would be too brittle. Only way to make it is with wafers laminated together, then milled... Not a very reliable setup.

    I thought they looked pretty cool. ;) it's not like you guys haven't been givin me crap about my red grips for a a year now. now you can poke fun at my tacky carbon fiber-look bits. I do have one actual piece of CF but it's not really functional (well semi)...
