My plans sound like they're close to yours. Race but also being able to street if its not too much work.

I was going to go with a oem set of bodywork, but after being down a few times on my other bikes I've discovered the ease of fiberglass. Price wise the aftermarket was pretty close. So same price and easily fixable won out. Since I was ordering the tail and front anyway I just went with the whole kit.

My thinking was, the standard fairings will most likely be one and done if you go down, unless you're lucky and can plastiweld (sp?) them. Fiberglass is easy and quick to fix.

I'm on the fence with getting another set of wheels. I'm telling myself that I won't bother racing if its raining...but I said that last year and raced twice in the rain and once in sleet (not fun). The BCR is going to be more for fun racing (a bit of an oxymoron)..but that could change. Aftermarket carbon wheel upgrades are not on the list. If I had that much money to play with I'd be a happy camper.

Suspension is on the wish list, but I won't be getting that until I sell some of my other bikes. Wife has laid down the law. Elka was a partial sponsor last year so I'll be looking to them first.

I've ordered pretty much the entire kit from Sebimoto. Each piece is priced separate but I ordered everything. Sides, front, mirror covers, tail (which looks sweet) and belly pan (the stock carbon BCR pan is not usable to race).

As for protecting the heads...I'm a little on the fence. I have the carbon covers that I understand will do nothing but scratch and wear thru. I've seen the Touratech and some others but I'm thinking clearance will be a big issue. I'm going to run with the carbon and feelers to see where I'm at. Since I'm old, slow, and crappy I might have the clearance to put something bigger on.

Here's what I get to play with over the weekend.


Any chance anyone out there has install instructions for the Laser? I've reached out to Fosterrad as well..
