Ok, i've given King Carbon a call and it is something that they can do. Given the age of the bike there aren't any moulds available so it would be a case of making one from Boris' current set. Obviously they won't be able to guarantee a perfect fit doing that way. If we can get enough people to commit then they can do the mould for nothing. Price will depend on the size but looking at it compared to say the early K model gixers, something around the £60-£70 mark.

Boris - can you send a me some pictures of yours so i can forward it on?

Everyone else - who definitely wants a set?

If someone's got a pair they don't mind me having to make a pattern off, I can have a go at making some carbon protectors. I don't have a 3TJ to make stuff around.

edit- actually, would peeps be interested in swingarm protectors too, like a cover that fits over the outer faces?
