Carbon? 08 factory

Dynamo · Jan 25, 2011

The wife hates the black bit on the end of the radiator, the bit with the stickers on it now

Is there a carbon bit available for that, ive looked but dont even know what to call it

She also fancies some rad covers, ive seen the boewulf ones so far but is there any others out there

Just had the beowolf rad covers through the post today. How far out were the holes evlin? did you just have to make them bigger or drill new ones ?

There's a couple of people who made their own rad covers on here, our friend Nob may be able to guide you in that direction

You can make rad covers in about an hour for a tenner. You can get carbon effect sticky tape sheets for a few quid off ebay to put over the rad scoops.
Or you could just buy everything. The scoops are 100+ on ebay now. Covers about ? 30 to 75 quid.

I can see the frame scoops on ebay but not the rad bits

Serpently did. Cut to shape and use the fixing screws you can see on the rads and I used a bit of copper wire pushed through the fins to secure them.

Radiator Mesh

Easy peasy - black mesh is a little more expensive than the Â£5 B&Q gold, it's about Â£10.

The end thingies can be bought in carbon, one of the old forum members "Mr Jones" had them along with every other bit of carbon that existed on the planet for his "better than a Factory" Tuono.

(As you may suspect I think he is a ****)

TBH I dont think they are worth the effort, but ISTR he got them from Time Machine bikes - they aren't listing them at the minute, might be worth an email if you want a pair.
