Would you have preferred it made out of inch thick steel plate? Everything was a balance, so it didn't really matter about the weight but for stability they would have wanted the mass as low as possible and CF is easy to mould into a complex curved shape Quote

pistonbroke Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 I guess the CF was for strength plus you dont want too much weight there if the thing ever decided to clout him on the head in the very likely event of a crash Quote
Justin767 Posted January 21, 2014 Posted January 21, 2014 They went for CF because they wanted something as tough as Guy's face ! ;-) Quote
