stewart3871 Posted January 28, 2005 Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 does anyone know where i can obtain some 'carbon fibre tape'? i saw a photo of a beta on ebay that had some on the frame between the seat and footpegs, to protect it where the boots rub. looked really smart. tried halfords, no luck. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewart3871 Posted January 28, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2005 cheers. If i cant find the 'tape', i'll get some of that. Looks ideal, at a cheap price too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa. Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Carbon Fibre Tape is used in the Aircraft industry on places like the leading edge of Helicopter Rotors. I expect this would be quite expensive and would not conform to any compund curve. The sheet from bike shops is thick printed vinyl sheet which when heated can be streched etc to follow the curves and I would expect a lot cheaper.

arun1664 Posted January 29, 2005 Report Share Posted January 29, 2005 Ford do sheets of adhesive backed strip that is designed to go across the top of plastic bumpers for use on their estate cars to protect them from loading damage. Not carbon fibre but i suspect has better abrasion resistance than the stuff you get from M&P and the like. A mate of mine is about to try it on his Bultaco so I can't report results, I think it costs about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
