Carbon parts

Yes, but it’s not the same as the original. I had to swap one bolt for another that I had laying around. I’ll try installing the hugger tomorrow and hopefully I’ll have time to fix the front fender as well.

You needed to swap the upper bolt ?

Last part. Fit is good, but perhaps a little loose so I’ll probably shim it somehow. A slight difference to the original part are the two small holes You can see at the lower right corner. The original part has a hook there to fasten the wire. I don’t think that matters.

Will come back with a summary as soon as I have time.

Final review after a few rides. I really like the looks and all parts seem to stay in place. I love the matte carbon look.

One issue though is that the front gear cover bolts directly onto the engine block. This has resulted in a leak where the bolts are installed. I have now cleaned and reinstalled the bolts with blue locktite. I hope this helpes but the blue locktite might not be able to handle heat.
 
Some weight info:
Front fender: 248g vs 81g= - 167g
Spocket cover: 135g vs 77g= -58g
Hugger: 162g vs 90g = -72g

Total weight savings: 297g
Not that I care that much, but was curious to know the difference.

Edit: No leaks after I put on blue locktite and tightened the bolts to 7Nm.
