    After my swing arm was damaged this week and not a sticker fan I'm thinking of some carbon swing arm covers. Anyone fitted some? If so what company did you buy them from, good fit, how do they fit. Any chance of posting some pictures up for me to see?

    Thanks

    IOMTT recommends Carbon 2 Race. They are based in Slovenia ! I contacted them and bought the frame covers and the heavy duty race swing arm covers. Total cost delivered was £215 !!! 4 days to get to me from Slovenia ! DSC01130.jpg

    The carbon is excellent. They need to be stuck on with silicone or similar and I did have to cut one or two holes to get them fitted, to allow for the screws that the factory chain guard uses etc. But no trouble to do that.

    I am very pleased with mine.
