Hey Guys Carbonman here

Hey everybody how is it going. Working hard on all the new stuff. Sorry for some of the delays in development the dealer we use had to take back is 02 12 and waiting on a new one to come in to finish some of the new bits. Also do you guys have any good locations like this one for the GSXR boys have sopme great parts for them also We are waiting on the Hyabusa to get in at the dealer so we can finish up the bits on that bike also. If you have any good locations please let me know trying to get the word out on the new parts. Also keep checking out the website trying to add more and more everyday also you will soon be able to order direct online. Thanks for all the support hope everybody is doing great.

Hans

Good timing. I had a small incident with my 12 on Saturday. Pulled her up in a huge wheelie in 4th gear with lots of mph (over a 125 anyway), got a bit to high touched the rear brake and she came down like a ton of bricks. Scrambled my brains, eyesight and the nads! Ouch, thank goodness I didn't crash. Checking the bike out on Sunday I noticed something on my front fender. Apparently I hit hard enough that the fender and ram air duct hit. The carbon (Hans unit)ram air duct won. Cracked my carbon fender. I guess it is also safe to say that I have pushed my forks up in the tripple clamps (she turns quicker that way) just a tad more then the fender to ram air clearance is.

Damn!

I would say the clearance isn't the issue, the big ass wheelies are.

...I'd like to see a pair of Hans CF covers for the exposed part of the fuel tank below the seat and 'vanity' covers for the backside of the nose fairing of the 00-01 12s...

Z,
I know how you feel. Had a similar incident two years ago during my first ride out of the shoot w/new cf-akro and PM wheels. @ about 7500 in 2nd, the bike tried to do any immitation of the space shuttle and before I knew it, I was almost vertical and riding on one wheel and a prayer Fortunately, I got off the throtle slowly enough to achieve a soft touch down. Every time I think about adding power, I remember that incident, and have to ask myself if I really need more....

Don't leave your wingman

I have to say the nads have not forgotten! But the answer to the question is yes.
Considering all of the wheelies I have pulled over the years I have to consider myself pretty lucky. This one mishap was a bit painful but minor compared to what I have seen others do.
