R3 TFC all carbon

[gadget_ho]

First, I put carbon on because I wanted "more black" on my red Rocket and I like carbon. Second, any talk of weight savings for "performance" on a bike of this sheer magnitude is probably pointless. I suspect the engine, driveshaft and frame alone weigh more than a whole Panigale V4 S (195Kg wet vs the Rocket at ~315kg wet). So for context, that's like riding a Panigale and putting a Yamaha WR450F on the pillion seat...

Sorry for the delay here, been busing riding...

I agree. I was curious about the weight savings, and weighed the following stock (on a GT) then their carbon fiber replacements to calculate the savings (all replacements from CarbonFBR):

Three GT heat shields: -297 grams
Mid heat shield: -143 g
Left radiator upper trim: -43 g
Right radiator upper trim: -45 g
Front fender: -35 g
Front fender supports (combined): -65 g
Airbox trim piece: -107 g
Final drive heat shield: -44g

Total savings: 779 grams

Meanwhile, replacing the catalytic converter with a Werkes exhaust dropped ~10,400 grams.

As for carbon wheels, well, every friend I've had who installed them shattered them. No thanks.

The bikes has a Werkes exhaust on it... and its not about weight saving but the looks for me and besides as someone else said, given the torque/hp numbers weight reduction on this bike is not really an issue.
