I have a couple carbon fiber pieces from the motocomposites company in Canada - the finish is nice; the fitment is less so. They struggle some with fitment. I am interested to know if anyone has any experience, good or bad, with carbon fiber pieces from Carbon Fiber Racing located near Gilbert, Arizona? www.carbonfiberracing.com/ Their products look good, prices seem pretty decent. What gives me pause is their apparent lack of communication. I've tried the Contact Us form on their website, tried email, tried their FB page - no reply from any of these. Their phone always goes to voice mail. There is no street address on any of their sites. So all this makes me a bit nervous. Can anyone say anything good or bad about this company?  |

Never heard of them. I'm planning on picking up a few things from RPM Carbon soon as they're the only ones I've found that do the forged carbon for these bikes: rpmcarbon.com/collections/yamaha-mt-10-fz-10-carbon-fiber-parts-fairings-accessories-2016-2017-2019-2020-2021-2022 |

Dang, I was hoping I had just missed rpmcarbon when searching for North American vendors, but... turns out they are not based in North America, RPMCarbon is a outfit in Thailand.
I only discovered this when about to place an order for one small piece, and the cheapest shipping option was $50. Further digging into the site revealed that are based in Thailand.

It'd be nice to find a local supplier for the forged carbon, everyone still seems to only offer the standard twill weave. |

I broke down and ordered from Carbon King.... they have quite the stellar reputation. It will be a little bit of a butt-pain installing this, but I am really looking forward to seeing this on the bike:  |
