Carbon Fiber Side Tank Panels, anyone tried these ?

[sebastienb]

Anyone have one of those ebay carbon fiber panels ? I originally wanted a black monster but they only had the red one. I would rather buy stock ones (still looking on ebay) but they cost more.

I have a set from China that I cant say are 100% perfect... to install them you would have to do a bit of trimming to get a proper fit. Never used them they are new... can let them go cheap if you are interested... PM if so.
In summary the ones I bought are not as good a fit as the factory panels.
Hope this helps.

Can't really weigh in on new-gen monster stuff very much, but I can give you solid advice on carbon.
The "You get what you pay for" saying really holds true here. I bought a cheap carbon 999 fender, and the fit was awful. I squeezed it on, thinking it would be fine, got everything bolted, seemed like it was okay... Wrong. Next day i cam back, the resin cracked, and the fender was busted and laying on my wheel. I was luckily able to get a refund.

Buy good carbon, that way you need only buy it once.
As far as a recommendation... Shiftech (or Carbonworld.de)
