British bodywork specialists Skidmarx have created a collection of cool carbon accessories to dress up Honda’s naked muscle bike, the CB1000R. Naked motorcycles are popular with British riders (approximately 20% of all new bikes sold), but the lack of bodywork makes them vulnerable to cosmetic damage caused by road grime. So Skidmarx designed a rear hugger and bellypan for Honda’s 130bhp muscle bike.
