  1. Hi all

    Anyone bought a carbon front mudguard for their SS?

    If so, any recommendations on sellers?

    I've just received one and I'm not impressed for what it cost, some of the mounting holes aren't centered and the mounts themselves appear to be completely deformed. Square root of eff all quality control. If you hold it to the light you can see right through the weave.

    Furthermore, placing it next to the original mudguard I'm concerned that the thing will fit properly at all. And the fact that my bike is still in pieces means I can't verify that.

    Anyone else had any such issues with carbon products?

    Yours fkd-offingly

  4. Thanks - I may well be interested, depending on how I get on with the seller of this one. I suppose I could assemble the forks and wheel, and offer it up, to at least confirm my fears.

  8. The one i got was from carbon king. It is a really good fit and finish in gloss. they were really good to deal with in that i mistakenly ordered one for an i.e, so i rang them the next day after i had worked out my error, to ensure the correct one was sent...
    the one for the carby was 13 quid more expensive so i asked if i could pay it by card, the chap said no, he would send a paypal request, then he said actually its all good and they done it for the cheaper price.

  16. Is it possible to drill mounting holes in the right position (admittedly ending up with an oval mounting hole probably) or will the carbon just shatter? Shouldn't have to be doing that anyway really.

  17. sounds a bit risky... id be sending it back if that was needed. that said if , if the holes were only slightly out, a round file and a bit of patients would be my approach.

  18. IMO any carbon fibre panel doesn't improve the appearance of the SSs. It should be confined to exhaust cans.

  19. I got mine from Carbon King seemed a good fit. I do like the carbon/yellow combo and the carbon/black. But red looks good with red mudguard IMHO.
