Took a punt on an Ebay carbon guard. $128 brand new

Rather have kept my TLS guard but with the GSXR forks it was put in the to hard basket so took a punt on this Carbon one,$128 US with free shipping,not expecting to much was well chuffed when it turned up ultra quick, very well packaged and a good fit.Not as good quality as the like of Geelong Carbon craft but way cheaper and will do the job,sadly its going to make my old Geelong hugger look well old.

Doesn't look too bad at all.
Considering I paid circa $300 for a Tyga one a few years ago that wasn't much flasher.

Now, put that beast together and get some vids up!

Looking good mate! One of these days you'll run out of mods and have to give the old girl a paint job

Not that there's anything wrong with the current colour, of course

Seriously though, looking good

I hear you on the colour thing mate,ive always had this love hate thing with the Y3G Lamb shit yellow/Frog snot green,thing is i guess that anyone mad enough to spend the last 11 years chucking $ at the old thing like i have (and still are) might just as well leave it the rather odd colour it is.

At least it stands out amongst the rest and is easy to find on a Sunday morning after a night on the piss at a rally etc.Nobodys likely to steal it either lol.

looks good for the price!

You got a link to the seller handy Mike? If they are a retailer on there I'd be keen to see what else they offer. For the price, that looks fantastic.

About 8 years ago a bloke on the TL site had 30 made for members,another made the pressure plate,anodized retainers etc,ive an up dated pressure plate i havent got round to fitting.Its more common these days to just cut a hole in the oem clutch cover and fasten a window in there.Its bullshit really but something different eh.
