Hey all!! I'm new here on the forum, I have a 2018 today. Which I was thinking of buying carbon fiber rims for. Do not drive a track but only a country road, is it a good idea or does it suck? Thought of durability compared to aluminum.

I had a set of BST's on my TLR and a LOVED them. What a huge difference. I'm saving to get a set for my MT-10 as well.

I may buy such next season. I'll do some other upgrades on it first. See that you have also made some updates to your bike.

Yep, it's torn apart right now. Added frame sliders, windscreen, 2WDW flash and body panels are getting wrapped. Also getting some K-tech fork springs from a member here and buying one of their rear shock springs as well. Suspension is way too soft for me lol

I'm debating on whether or not to get the autoblipper. Starting in 2018 they added the up quickshift as standard so I've got that and love it. I'm great at rev matching on downshifting so I'm not sure if I want to spend the cash and then have to send my ECU back across the country to get reflashed so the autoblipper works lol.

I understand you. I had the neighbor to do it. But I can only say when you have it, you do not want to be without it. Just like you said about the carbon fiber rims
