  GT wings beli ex leh.... i wanna buy one too.
  
  think LTA allow CF coz it shatters upon impact and due to the lightness of the CF compound, the fragments carry very little momentum that could be potentially damaging. now metals, metal cuts right through so, i think thats y it's disallowed.

  Saw a GT-Wing look-alike in Hot Stuff mag. Itz LTA approved and made of fiber-glass. Yes, I agree fiber-glass is a little heavier, but better than getting charged by LTA during inspection ya??
  
  If you guys wanna know how it look like, I can go dig my stack of Hot Stuff mags and scan the pic out. How to post pic ah?? And Hot Stuff mag seems to have stopped.[/img]

  Ho ho!! You really scared me... I tot I said wrongly back there... ha ha!! I think is the material tatz y they legalised it, less sharp edges on fiber-glass. Unlike carbon-fiber, steel and aluminium, got a lot of sharp edges, a danger to motocyclists.
