Where to get carbon fibre panels made?

[Southmotian]

I have found myself slightly obsessed with the NOX supermoto, mmm :love:

I really want to get a full set of panels made up for my husky, send all the plastics off somewhere and have an identical set made in CF. I've read a bit about people making parts themselves, I'd love to but don't really have the time or workshop space. The dirt bike panels are all pretty basic shapes so I'd imagine it'd be no problem for someone in the know...

Anyone had something similar done in the past and know a good place? Any idea what it would cost?

Cheers

I've approached a few boat builders regarding this, but its REALLY expensive.
Was quoted 3k for a top fairing for a '95 zx9r)

CF panels aren't really going to be much lighter than a glass layup. The CF layup will have to be high-vac'ed and autoclaved etc etc etc, so the process is quite involved. Why exactly do you want to go CF ?

You might say to them "gee thats too much - what about a conventional glass high vacuum layup with a top layer of CF just for looks?" Pretty much you will halve their price, or more, and will still be bloody light.

Yep, that's steep. Maybe they just weren't interested with $$$ boats to build.

Purely aesthetic reasons, don't like the current jumble of yellow & blue, would rather make it unique than slap another plastic kit on. If a CF layer on top of glass would be that much cheaper it could be a good option, I'm not too worried about weight savings, but it' would be good if they weren't heavier than the original plastics. Thanks for the suggestion.
