Very nice! Maybe if you're good, next Christmas you will get the CF fender to complete the front.  [thumbsup]

I'm usually indifferent about carbon on a bike, but the 696 looks so much better with carbon bits to me... not sure if the OEM plastic bits are just extra cheesy or what, but the carbon really stands out nicely on that bike. Good job!

yeah, i agree...
maybe its the satin/ flat finish on the nylon parts versus the sheen on the carbon
whatever it is, i LIKE it....:) [thumbsup]
carbon spine next, then front fender,
then maybe tank panels.

You may already know this OP, but your clutch line looks as if it's seeping. You can really see it in the 9th picture.

the clutch is not seeping,
thats some kind of discoloration in the clear plastic covering of the brakelines,
looks like a burn of some kind....
maybe the clear sleeve discolored from the heat of the brake fluid....?
