I'm smack-dab in the middle of a winter rebuild on my YFZ and have been looking for something to set her apart from the rest of the crowd. I think I finally found what I was looking for. Alongside selling my TCS LT shocks on ebay (to be replaced by a new pair of Evol X's), I decided to send my clutch cover and cylinder head cover off to a company in So-Cal for a special paint treatment. Treatment's called hydrographics and the company I had do it (K2Concepts) specializes in carbon-fiber replica pattern.

The thing that really sold me on this is that the durability of it is rated stronger than powdercoating. We all know how beat up the clutch cover gets, and I don't want to have to re-coat it every other race. Decided to go with a red and black fiber color combo to match the rest of the machine. The images kind of make it look like a red/silver color combo but it's just from the glare off the clear-coat.
