You're fucking crazy.

I've never really been a fan of Carbon Fiber... but if it's not just faux crap (and I just got a faux CF tank pad ) I like it a little better... but I think it'll just look odd with the rest of your bike black and gold... and then this CF part (which shines a grayish in light)

I'm with ya... maybe if you had more CF like Tigger said

looks good.

the stocker would look better if the front of it was black as well.

And here I thought you liked it cause you were more likely to resemble a road cone lying on the pavement after you looped your bike
