| Luimoto - Repsol Seats Skins Luimoto Very nice craftsmanship and looks durable enough for day-to-day riding.  I was planning on trying to mount the skins myself, but I ran into problems. Not with the product, but with the items needed to install. I seem to have misplace my staple gun and all the ones my friends had to offer, just didn't have the power to punch through that tough plastic. I didn't want to buy a new staple gun as the one I have is pretty nice (for a staple gun), so I decide to just take it into a local guy and have him do it for me.     I wasn't sure how it was going to look, so I purchased a set of used seats that I found on eBay. That made it easy to swap out the seats for some comparison shots. Tell me what you think. I figure since I have the nice matching rear cowl on there I probably wouldn't use these much. But after getting them on the bike and seeing how good they look, they are already growing on me. Can't wait to see them out in the sun tomorrow when I ride into work.

| Re: Luimoto - Repsol Seats Skins Ah, long story. I recently regained the right to post here so I've been posting up some reviews I had in the past. I didn't get all these things at one time but over the past year and a half of owning the bike. I got some great friends in great places and have meet some more great friends along the way. Even got invited to park at the Repsol tent for last year's MotoGP event at Laguna Seca!

 | Re: Luimoto - Repsol Seats Skins That rotor pattern is made by CTS Moto here in Sacramento, CA. I don't know if anyone else makes that design other than those guys. |

I just got back from their shop to check out how they make these things. They aren't just fancy cut rotors my friends, every element from the carrier material, rotor rivets and special SS rotor surface surpass all other manufactures in wear, running temps and heat dissipation. They are still working on their site which will show more about the technology. I hope to have the new setup on my bike by the end of the month. He's also working on a full floating rear rotor design and already has a prototype working on some models. I hope to have a CTSmoto full floating rear on my bike as well by the end of the season.

| Re: Luimoto - Repsol Seats Skins Talk about reviving an old thread. I just picked up a set of the new "Repsol" approved version of the seat skins. As you can see, these do match the Repsol Orange much better than the older SP style I had before. I like the new embroidered logos, but I do miss the "Repsol" along the front of the rear seat. Overall I'm impressed with the new skins and the new improved look.
