I applaud and thank you for sharing your experience with the CF from China.  I've thought about it but never risked ordering.  I did order a CF front fender from a US outfit (they also bragged that the piece was made in the US) and was throughly disappointed.  The piece was probably as heavy as the OEM plastic fender because of wet layup but what was worse, it looked like a three year old child did the work.  The CF fabric was pulled and stretched out of shape and the surface was shiny but full of ripples and dips.  I sent it back and got a quality piece from Monsterparts.

Unfortunately, eastcarbon doesn't have the parts I'm currently looking for, the oil cooler covers.
Current: '14 M1200S; '09 BMW R1200GSA; '06 Harley Roadking; '02 Suzuki SV650N; all the others sold

dennisd dont get me wrong, the stuff out of China is fibre-glass based wet layup with plenty of resin weighing it down too.  I'm not saying that its the world's best quality, what I am saying is that if you're after CF just for the bling value rather than for weight reduction and strength (yeah, I know... I am such a shallow individual  ;))... then the stuff out of China is good value... for the money the quality is acceptable.  What I was raving about was their astonishing customer support.  Not all sellers are so eager to please.  And y'know its all about expectations.. when I pay Big Bucks for something I expect it to be Bloody Good and if its not then I expect that its rectified to my satisfaction without question.....  When I dont pay so much then I can live with less, yet the guys at Eastcarbon easily exceeded my expectations by going out of their way to see that they fixed up a problem to the highest standard that they can.

Why not just paint the OEM piece?

Red?  ;)

I will have it coated semi-matt black to match the sprocket and Termi end caps for a later project.......  But I also wanted a gold anodised item for the days when I feel like wearing white shoes  [laugh].

Good work.That bike is sensational. [clap]
It's got a real tough look in carbon.
It's beautiful and tough lookin' at the same time, a real Monster trait.

Snippet:

I have absolutely no association with Eastcarbon other than as a satisfied customer, I just wanted to share with you the great product support I received from these guys in China  >> http://motors.shop.ebay.com/eastcarbon/m.html  <<  Just because it isnt sourced from Europe or North America and doesnt cost a gazillion dollars doesnt mean that its not worth considering.  So, get over the "made in China" stigma, save a bucket full of $$$ and be assured that if you do have a problem, it will be rectified. 

Yes, I was very impressed.

I see they are using your bike in their ads though...  [thumbsup]
