lol I notice you're very negative person...

I don't need to see out of my motorcycle windscreen... I've owned many bikes and not once have I leaned over the tank to look out of my windscreen...

How's that being stupid? what's the difference between wrapping the motorcycle windscreen to any other bits on your bike? How is my field of vision effected? do you lean on your tank and look out through your motorcycle windscreen? it's not a track bike dude, you need to relax a bit

Actually its not crap, 3m stuff is rated for over 40k hours in the sun and looks very good. Obviously its not real carbon, but its really handy for parts that companies do not make carbon replacements for or if you just want to change the look of your bike without big money. As far as a carbon windscreen goes, i actually think NJcustoms on here had one on his bike in his profile pic if i am correct. I have a vinyl wrap biz on the side and have done some of my own stuff. To each his own, both liking and opinions.

I get it; it's made by 3M so it's not technically a crap product. Engineering aside, our *opinion* is that it's a crap idea.

Obviously TWW and Mac are of the opinion that aesthetics are pointless and carbon should only be used for weight loss. I get that. Personally, like most people, I like the look of carbon. At least when it's done tastefully and not in excess. But DiNoc isn't carbon; it's solid black vinyl that's physically textured so that its refractive properties give it the *illusion* of carbon...until you get about a foot away from it.

If you want the look of carbon, buy some damn carbon. DiNoc and the like is the equivalent of painting a Ninja 250 red and putting Ducati stickers on it. Or taking a B18B Acura Integra and slapping Type R badges all over it. Or just putting a dinosaur costume on your dog and saying you have a dino as a pet.

It's cheap, it's fake, and in my opinion it's just dumb.

I will never understand people who kick that fake carbon wrap.

Shit screams fake & poser.

Wow people have some real attitude problems on here. If you don't like it just say so, nobody needs to know how terribly angry you are at life due to small.... socks.

Anyway I personally don't like it. If your gonna wrap it with something I'd say get a graphic of some sort. This way its straight cosmetic. Like putting a poster over a whole in the wall from punching it after girlfriend cheats on you, twowheeled knows what i'm talking about :rofl:.

You may be right we may have all been a little hard on him.

That said I can give you a definition of what looks cheap. Your powder coated wheels definitely do not they are as good as anything. Cheap in this situation is a simple definition.

If the main purpose of the product is to "look like" something more expensive then it is cheap and probably looks cheap. Don't bother impersonating something else. Either do it right or go a different new direction.

I'll definitely give you this ^ If the purpose is to trick other people into thinking it's real CF then yes, that's cheap. If the purpose is to make it look different but not be a poser, then I think it's okay.

Look at it this way; fake tits are just that. Fake. You're not fooling anyone because they don't even look real. Dem some fake titties. BUT, if I can touch them, then they're real.
