Thanks John!
A for you; the carbon bits are a mix of Tekarbon and Ilmberger.
Specifically the rear hugger, nose fairing and chin fairing are Julius Ilmberger products. My bike came with the hugger, I purchased the nose fairing through a shop in England. The name Nigel rings a bell, shop is called Sandbar Composites Ltd. Very pleasant bloke to deal with and he was very supportive when the nose fairing was received with a scratch. Nigel assisted me with processing an insurance claim.
The chin fairing was purchased with an HPE exhaust setup directly from Ilmberger in Germany.
The front fender, tank center panel and rear solo cover are Tekarbon products. The fit and finish are not as nice as the more expensive parts but you get what you pay for. I purchased the rear cover off a forum member and it too was damaged in transit. My body shop repaired the chipped corners and it looks nice now.
Initially I purchased the center cover for the front fender but it was severely warped and I didn't like that it hooked to the right. When I called to return it the sales associate was so helpful I decided to exchange it and upgrade to the full carbon fender which I did not originally want.
I have not fit up all the parts after having them painted but will take more pictures and try to provide additional details after everything gets buttoned together.
