MK Indy Carbon Fiber cycle wings
Hi there!
I made this thread just to ask how many of you would be interested for a pair of carbon fiber front cycle wings for your MK Indy?
Wings will be exactly the same as those fitted by MK, as the molds are taken from a pair f MK wings.
I am offering a price of 125GBP, free shipping to Europe and UK. Lower price possible if more than 3 pairs ordered. Any interest?

texalium and more!
For any question, just U2U or email me at

What i make is 100% made of real and expensive carbon fiber and high quality epoxy resin. I know that there are many people advertising their carbon
parts but actually they use carbon for the 2 outer layers and inside -where it's not visible- they use cheap fiberglass fabric or even chopped
strand mat.
I always make parts with vacuum bagging process and never with plain hand-layup because carbon is a real PITA to lay it correctly over molds with
complex shapes. Vaccum bagging not only ensures that the final part will take the exact shape of the mold, but that the part will be air-void free, so
really strong and light. Next week i will have the wings so ready to make some molds. Actually i will make molds for the rear wings too. I will have
available standard MK Indy rear wings and widened rear wings, so extra discount if you order them as a set of front/rear wings.
Below is a picture i took today from the process of making a steering column plate with vacuum bagging for a customer in the UK.

I'm in the market for a set of cycle wings. If the price is right, I'd be very interested.

I reckon if you made them 50% longer, you'd get even more interest. Most manufacturers cycle wings are too short IMO. Stick a set of decent
rubber on and you get peppered with small stones, your rear arches take a battering and you're forever picking them out of the seats and
cockpit.

Agree with the other posts, and I like the look of those, Echidna. They look far better than my existing MK ones.
I've seen that suppliers seem to suggest different wings for different wheel sizes. Make sense, I guess. Sorry if it's a daft question:
what wheel / tyre sizes would be expected to fit?
Thanks - Francis.

I would be intrested in a set of all four wings (front and rear) in carbon fibre and as mentioned earlier, longer front wings would be great.

Oops, forgot to mention that the wings will be for 15/16" wheels.

Yep, and maybe even slightly longer. It then gives the customer the choice of cutting them down or not, instead of having to fit mudflaps to increase
the effective length.

Thanks for the suggestions Phil.
Any other suggestions from MK users? It would be nice if you can buy something that will maybe solve any of your problems.

rear stone guards to fit the wings i thinka few on here would have some. i would for sure got some self adhesive on at the mp and not very happy with
it. the carbon mods ones are not for mk althoughn i know some have fit them. Is it me or are mk missing a few tricks to sell more stuff like carbon
wings, adjustable wishbones and the like. all the better for you id rather give my money to some one on here whos trying to do something different.
