Opp lower carbon fiber review


There is no way it would fit even if the upper was by them

It hits the kickstand mount (yes I could cut it) AND hits the left side cases. Further the oil cooler was covered (yes I could cut it) In short it is unusable do not buy any RC glass from them. Worse since I got it second hand there is no returning it

So the Sharkskinz lower will get black paint instead of a CF lower

Put it on ebay and let the buyer know that adjustments will need to be made.

There is no adjusting this. You would have to cut a large hole in the left side that would be beyond horrid. I would feel guilty selling it to an enemy.

Re: Opp lower carbon fiber review
Call Opp (should it be Oops????) and tell them your situation. Take pictures of the test fit and call tech support. If they are reputable by any means they will be open to helping you in some way. It may only be a discount, but it's worth a try.

As far as the oil cooler goes its in a differant place on differant RC51s (SP1 and SP2) that might have something to do with it.

The other stuff just sucks.
