CF Questions and Winter Projects

1967 R50/2 · 10-14-2002, 06:49 AM

So it's about that time when I start considering winter projects. One of which will probably be to replace the battery with a gel type and get rid of some of those hoses on the paralever. Another, which I had considered even before I bought the bike was replacing all black plastic with CF.

1. I saw this dash on Wuedo.de. The translation doesn't say whether it glues on on or not, but it doesn't look like the other CF dashes I have seen, so I'm suspecting it does not. And that is fine by me. It looks better to me. Anyone have this one?

2. Anyone know if a CF replacement is made for the airbox? I'm not talking about inducts. I'm talking about the airbox itself.

3. Anyone know the part numbers for the CF Boxer Cup valve cover protectors?

4. Anyone know if the Boxer Cup belly pan comes unpainted? Or is it painted the replica blue?

I emailed the guy at boxer-design about their lower fairing and ask two questions;
1) Can I use the center stand? answer was no!
2) Is it CF or Fibre Glass? Answer was Fibreglass.
I am making an assumption that this is the piece the British Boxer Cup bikes I have seen posted somewhere with the cool paint job? Just an assumption.
My bike is the 2001 “Light” with the factory carbon piece which does work with the centerstand, I think looks better, does not need to come of for oil changes.
Here are the sites I have found for aftermarket Carbon, hope others will post more?

I too have been wondering about where the valve cover pieces come from.
I trade at Cascade MC who is the Wudo importer, I will try & check out your question wudo ? for you.

The boxer cup carbon pieces...including the belly pan come from Driesch in Germany. They don't have a website.

I've already got the stock belly pan...but the anal retentive type in me would like all the CF to match. None of the aftermarket stuff has the blue thread, nor does the Boxer Cup Replica stuff.

Thanks Coos,

I've seen the site before. But I am suspicious. Under the axiom of you get what you pay for....what exactly are you getting here?

Anyone deal with Sebitmoto before?

Thanks Coos
Interesting site, never found the "verkleidung" but stumbled around and found the body parts. CF parts prices seam a little more real. Also they have a device for calibrating the speedo
