Carbon fiber bars for 08&09

Carbonfiber is very durable if it is coated the withstand UV rays (ala BST wheels). If not it will become brittle over a period of years.
 
I've had carbon fiber bars on my mountain bike for years and never had any durability problems at all and I've taken some major diggers.:laugh:I know a mt bike is not a Hayabusa but the bars probably took more abuse than they would ever see on a motorcycle unless you were to go down.

The weight savings does not outweigh the risks you could possible come across. If you decide to do this mod I would do a lot of research on how the companies form the bars and what type of weave they use. You also need to look into what kind of coating they put over the carbon fiber to protect it from the sun and other things that could harm them.
