As was already mentioned, more options would be great. I'd like to know the OP's philosophy on the carbon fiber air cleaner. Is it just for aesthetics? If that's the case, again, more choices are needed.

you are correct, it is just for aesthetics as it will reduce weight but im not going to try and claim that its going to make a huge difference. I will have the battery cover and the front fender here in a couple of weeks. was thinking of doing the rear fender but it doesnt seem as easy to switch out as the other parts. but if the members request it, it would be easy enough for me to make one.
also thought about doing the derby cover, would anyone be interested?

I'd definitely be interested in the battery and oil tank covers. I think the derby cover would be tough because carbon fiber tends to change colors and fade quickly around heat. That depends if your planning on doing a adhesive type cover that goes on the existing one or a completely new one. I still think you should do a headlight visor or nacelle...

I like it. I have a carbon fiber wrap on the muffler of my d and d pipe. Only its not a sportster. Its a 2013 Harley breakout with the 103 football cover. Under 200 bucks I think I might buy it, at 150 I know I would.

I like it. I may buy one, depending on whether the intake I end up upgrading to will fit.

due to the bigger size, the price will be around the $210-$220 range.

Default Products coming soon

Ok everyone, within the next month i should have a good selection of parts for you to choose from so you dont just have one random carbon fiber piece. The selection will include the front fender, air cleaner cover, oil tank cover, battery cover, and headlight visor. I will keep everyone posted on the progress.

Neat, I'd be interested in a round carbon fiber air cleaner for the SE setup.
