PM Speedee. I think he has one.

Spedee's is an Artfibras, but made from real carbon fiber.

I have a fiberglass one from artfibras and have had zero issues with it. The paint finish is good quality, and after putting well over 2000 miles on the bike with it installed I have not seen so much as a crack or stress mark in it. I highly recommend one for anyone.

I have a fibreglass from artfibras on my '06 (and in fact, Spedee helped install it....ok he did most of the work and I grabbed wrenches for him).

Anyway, I'm very happy with not only the quality of the part from artfibras, but also in how easily it installs. Three holes to drill and you are done.


FWIW - I also highly recommend the artfibras undertail as well. And despite what I've seen posted on KR, you do NOT have to cut the original undertail section to get it out. You will need to undo the bottom of the dogbones to release the rear wheel (let it drop out of the way), but the stock undertail can be removed in one piece.

there is a button on the main page for english version (based out of brazil), email them and they'll hook you up, or wait for their auctions on ebay, search 'katana hugger'
