could you get some carbon made round a pipe then cut it so you have a semi for each side? bit of double sided tape and its done

seems a simple shape to make, easier than your grillle newaysi got some carbon sticker off ebay (for my fireblade, found some carbon frameprotectors just after), it looked good but nothin on the rear gear

Hows about this stuff? I'm sure they'd have some offcuts big enough to sort your needs.

Mate, you tried Carbommods?

They do sheets of properly sticky carbon, a "silver" carbon and kevlar. If you bell them, ask for Matt or Paul. Helpful lads.

I just got some kevlar sheets to make some ropey looking arch protectors
