Plastic all over

[mjvielle_imp]

Maybe it's just the Doctor Who episode I'm watching (where plastic is trying to take over the world), but I'm finding a surprising amount of plastic on my beauty. In the shop, I was perhaps too caught up staring at the deep metallic tank and forgot to look at all the other pieces. Heck, on the Sabre, I did find the plastic fender and since I touched the turn signals here on the CB, I see I've got my work cut out for me. I admit, though, Honda has done a good job at giving the body a sense of minimalism.. but they do it with blk plastic!

Question: What plastic parts are you all trying to modify?

Wellllll,

Think how much it would weigh if everything was metal.

At least what's plastic won't rust.

Carbon fiber is a good replacement. I'm waiting for a shipment from Mr. T.

The only plastic on the bike that I was truly surprised by was the tail light mount assembly.

I've replaced a lot of parts. I replaced the black plastic side covers and air cleaner covers with red fiberglass ones. I replaced the black plastic chain guard with a chrome steel one. I replaced black plastic sproket cover with a silver plastic one. And finally I am replacing those beautiful chromed steel fenders with red fiberglass ones. Less plastic, less steel, more fiberglass. Oh well.

That surprised me as well, Guth.

Once mankind figured out how to chrome plate plastic, we were doomed...

I was disappointed when I received my chrome gauge covers and discovered that they were plastic.......

Seems like fiberglass is fiberglass reinforced plastic... Carbon fiber is plastic reinforced by carbon fiber.[/align]

I've been looking at more & more carbon fiber.
