They look like them. I put them on my 401- the anodizing comes off the knurled part ridiculously fast.

Same engine as a 790 Duke, something angular and bright orange probably screws in there. Edit: Nope, empty spots on those bikes as well.

Vacuum bagging done, high spots knocked off and the first coat of epoxy. Sand it with 60 grit to mostly flat (don't want to go through anywhere at this point) and add the second epoxy coat. Getting there. Having now done all this I would be so much better at it if I did it a second time...

I actually have that color vinyl. If you want to send me a Fusion project file or .dwf I can laser cut it for you. An envelope to Germany is probably only 5 euro. Edit: now that I look at what I have it isn't nearly that dark...

Here I am using paint like a sucker!

Started skinning the black parts of the front fender in chopped carbon. Messy work, if I didn't like what it looks like so much I would have done normal carbon weave. If you want to try this you need some vacuum bags for cloths, chopped carbon tow, resin, 100% polyester interlining (inside of...

I wondered if those panels could be wrapped. You seem to be pretty damn good at that. Question for you. I ordered the pillion replacement for the svart, going to do forged carbon skin on it. Do I need to order something else to fill in the back or is this what it actually looks like? Pretty...

I generally commute with a backpack but on those hot days that require a mesh jacket a backpack is just the worst. I'll have to pick up one of these mounts.

It isn't really the manufacturers, it is physics. Running under the limit for Euro5 emissions basically means single and 2 cylinder bikes have to be tuned right to edge of lean stability. You don't feel it as much in 4 cylinders because missed pulses are more likely to get covered up by the...

Frame wire clamp is definitely two plugs that you will definitely destroy when you remove them. Fortunately the are plugging into threaded holes, so I reinstalled it with black stainless m8 thread screws. I wound up removing the rubber off one of the springs. Even after bending the spring...

'better looking' is clearly a subjective term :D

Sprayed the front fender today, came out fantastic, won't even be necessary to sand/polish. The sides of the fender I scuffed the hell out of and tried my hand at skinning them with chopped carbon but it wasn't great. I thought I could use my mitivac brake bleeder pump to do the vacuum...

Maybe svarts are different than vits. This thing looks like a single 3" piece of plastic with two nubs that I have to imagine have barbs on the underside of. I'll just try pulling.

The frame rail plug that holds the two O2 sensor wires - is that just a push in thing? Like wedge a trim tool under it to pop it off?

Yes, I built them in Fusion by hand. Once I was done I realized my '1' isn't the same as the stock logo but I like mine better. Decal was a sheet of vinyl that I cut using my xTool F1.

Quad lock with the vibration damper. I've logged a couple thousand miles on my pixel 9 mounted to my bike handlebars that way.

All the forged carbon parts (radiator spoiler, front fender, heel guards) are backordered until the end of September. BOOO! Looks like I'm going to start making molds and trying my hand with raw carbon flakes.

These are the Oro rotors that you listed further up in the thread?

2 color coats, just enough to be fully covered. Then 3 of the spraymax 2k. First coat is a 'bonding' coat, your goal isn't high gloss, second coat is medium, should have nice gloss, third coat is wet, just shy of runs. Gives great depth, cures hard and plenty of clear that you can wetsand fully.
