Default Carbon fibre rocker covers

Looking to replace my chrome cover and fancy going down the carbon route, inspired by 'Twins' latest work.

It's not the first time I have seen a carbon rocker cover on an ERST so does anyone know where I can get one?

Looks the bollocks doesnt it its going in for a repair (back to creative carbon) as the breather outlet on the right has become unbonded from the cover. No damage at all just the glue used must have come away after 4 years. Then when I get it back I'll probably ebay it, reason for selling it is that my reverse charge carrier sits very close to it and im worried about it rubbing on it, so far Ive always had a chunk of neoprene under the carrier to stop any contact. I cant be arsed with that now so got that power engineering one going on. Fit and forget is the way forward for me. Was going to keep it for show ponying but I really aint in to that these days.

Looks fantastic StephenC


I think Phil may be looking into a cover mould for the rocker cover that you can just slip over the top of your existing one
a pic of mine need an update one as nearly back together now

So there's nowhere really that sells these off the shelf then?

I'm not into spending 300 notes on one lol but liked the way twins had his done. I know his is a modified edition (as with most of his masterpieces) but is there any mention of a price for having one wrapped in a similar way?

I just feel all my chrome needs breaking up with a more up to date look, and you can't get much more up to date than what Twins does!
