There are lots of choices for Carbon Fiber out there, but what seperates good carbon from bad (junk) carbon? or one brand from another?

As the Exclusive distributor of Carbon Dry's Dry Carbon Fiber parts for the Eastern US, I thought I should put together an informative guide to those sexy lightweight pieces everybody loves.

Personal opinion here...

carbon should be painted, ;D

Sorry Randy....

couldn't help myself. [laugh]

Might want to do a little more research, and talk to some other folks (besides your supplier).

Shouldn't this be in the sponsors section? If this isn't advertising for your own business, I don't know what is....

very true...  thanks for painting all mine, nate

I agree, painted carbon looks great, but

I have verified the average weight difference betweens otherwise identical carbon pieces, which is fact, not opinion.

So are you trying to say this isn't an ad for your store? It would be one thing if someone had asked if anyone had preference in carbon parts, but this is nothing more than a thinly veiled advertisement for your online store.

Poor form Randall....

How much of a discount do DMFers get?  Im ready to buy!

Randy is a sponsor Chris.

He pays for the right to post about his store.

It's appropriate for him to post that here.

I know that. Aren't sponsors supposed to tout their products in the sponsor's section?

It's not uncommon for a sponsor to occasionally post a link in the acc&mod section.

If I thought Randall was abusing his privileges I would have said that in my reply to his initial posting.

The fact that the link is more informational (propaganda) than a direct link to his store helps me decide...sure it's advertising...that's why he pays.

If he makes a habit of posting links that are business related I will speak with him.

primer and bare carbonfiber FTW!

yeah and as exclusive distributor of course you are impartial.  lmao

Is that stuff pre-preg?  I get the same satiny finish on my vac bagged or infused parts that they do.  All a matter of how finished the surface of the mold is really.

Update your website. It's Prepreg, not prepeg.

 [thumbsup]

It is Pre-Preg Carbon, but it uses a special patented Curing, and Finishing process that creates much lighter, and stronger carbon fiber products.

As for how the finish looks... well, post some pics of your parts up, and lets compare, because I have owned lots of brands of Carbon, and never seen anything as nice as Carbon Dry.

Ohh and I never said I was unbiased, but consider this, I can import CM Composites (they make Ducati Performance) carbon parts, and even make slightly more off each piece that sells, but I choose not to.  I want to try to carry only the highest quality, best performing, and Unique parts.

i was in a duc shop the other day, looking at some DP CF bits. they are crap (at least the ones i was looking at)

Tough crowd here eh? [wine]

at times.... ;D

something about a super fast 620......... [roll]

We also have a super fast S2R1000

 [popcorn]

I've heard this tale before  [coffee]

Hey Howie how you doin'  [thumbsup]

wow, even faster than the 620 :o

I missed that one.  [roll]   [popcorn]
