They say that is the first step to recovery, but so far, it hasn't worked for me!!

I know what you mean. I've gone through changing items out with CF replacements and told myself that at least I am lightening the bike. Now I am looking at items to add to the bike and I can't use that as an excuse.

CF buttons and other non-necessities

Maybe I'll starting replacing items I wear to make up the difference

I have a CF windscreen on the way and when I talked to the guy who makes/sells em, he told me about some CF frame plugs he has! I am UNCONTROLLABLY tempted to snag some. SEE! I told you it wasn't working for me....

I saw this gem at the BST booth in Indianapolis last week. They're amazing bikes...

Frame plugs!? Oh, hell, I've gotta get those. Who sells 'em?

Well, I got some pics from him today and I was uninspired by them. $:-\$

http://i226.photobucket.com/albums/dd93/mkmebuy/duc/MonstPlugs.jpg in standard CF

I did not ask how they attach to the bike as I think for the first time (and my first step towards recovery

) I am gonna pass on 'em...

If you want em, lemme know and I can ask him if he is cool with me giving out his email addy...

swampduc · February 27, 2009, 11:31:19 AM

Meh. Think I'll pass. The CF business card case off that other site, though...

I'm interested in a set of the standard CF if he has plugs for the odd sized hole on the left side of the frame just in front and under the seat and the two on the tail. These three are not the same size as all the other standard frameplug sets I've seen and I've just been using the OEM plugs and matching plastic plugs I've found at either a hardware or autoparts store. BTW - how much?

Yikes! I have that info at home somewhere but IIRC, the Texalium Silvers' went for $50 (for a set of five) and $35 for the standard CF, same preset selection. He never responded as to whether he was amenable to having his email posted here. I will follow up with him. I would hope to be seeing my CF windscreen this week...

Here is the update I promised on the CF Windscreen:

I'll admit it, I bought a watch.

My old Seiko got messed up in a crash last year (it was in my pocket at the time) and I'd been looking for a replacement. Of course, for a watch that uses carbon fiber, this thing is goddam heavy, thanks to the water-resistant stainless case and a band that I swear has DID 525 stamped somewhere.

Gotta admit, the sweeping second-hand is kinda mesmerizing.
