the carbon king do not produce their own carbon...but they source it from their selected manufacturer as they mention on their website. I applaud their transparency, pity others don't follow suit. And are really helpful, plus UK business.

Speed Carbon are possibly the best company I’ve dealt with so far!!! Super fast in getting back to me and very customer focused

I have the QB Carbon fairings and other parts for my 748 and the fit/finish is good enough but has very little strength. I also have an 1198 with a full set of Fullsix carbon fairings and the quality is far far superior. QB's carbon is offered in plain weave which is the same pattern as DP or MS, however the finish is not the same. Fullsix is available in many weave options and finishes. Their finished product is very very similar to DP/MS.

As for as construction goes, QB parts are wet lay up carbon and Fullsix is proper multi layer pre-preg carbon. There is not really a massive price difference between the two companies either. QB might be more open to deals than a Fullsix supplier though.

Corsa Garage stuff looks amazing however it is pricey. I'm sure it's now made by the company that was formed from the ashes of CM Composit - now called Speed Carbon. I can't find any info on them through the interweb, but their parts seem to be supplied through a few companies. Forza Moto and Ducati Parts Online to name a couple and not in the slightest bit cheap... Febur, Carbonvani and Bursi Evolution all do brilliant pre-preg carbon parts.

An alternative is the UK based company, C-Tech Composites (support your local/national companies plug). Steve makes proper pre-preg carbon and once supplied his parts to HRC. Quite an accolade. His business is much smaller these days and more of a hobbie, but the fit and finish is amazing. He has lots and lots of parts that are available for the 748/9*6/8, 1*98, Desmo and Panigale range. There is a downside though - he is always busy and very very difficult to get a hold of.

Hope that helps a wee bit.

Can you remember how long QB Carbon took, from order to delivery? I've ordered a part on 9th August, still waiting. Maybe they are busy.

I know of an unused, full set of Ducati road carbon fairings sitting in a cupboard but I think they are for a 996 which might not fit the 998 but I’ll ask. Andy
