Finally after a near 7 week wait my items arrived in one piece this morning and very nice they are too. The carbon fibre is top class but my only issue is there aren't any holes in the front fender for the brake line brackets like there are on the OE fender.
I received a free gift for my troubles which turned out to be an Aluminium riser (handlebar clamp) worth €138.00 so many thanks to Fabio at Rossocromo for that :thumbup

Bet your got a right boner on when the parcel arrived. :yay
Looks really nice carbon..... :lick :lick :lick ought to be for the price. :thumbup
Looks like you've got the full set there, White Knight. I still think that front fender looks the biz, so much better than the original or any of the other aftermarket ones! Hope it all goes on OK!

Wow, when did you buy the Brembos? We need to know more about those when they're on. I like it all, except the carbon side panels. I don't think they look right on such a lightly coloured bike. Personal opinion and all that :thumbup
White Knight, i noticed the washers on the Ermax belly pan are rusting just like mine.
My bike has never seen a drop of water and is in a very well ventilated garage, yet still they rust. French kack, gonna change mine tomorrow.
But the standard side panels are black plastic anyway unless you mean the radiator covers but then it doesn't look quite right imo.
I've left the standard white one on the other side of the bike for a few weeks now as I wasn't sure myself but once the Rosso front mudguard went on it looks a bit weird to me. And the look I wanted was for white across the top with the headlight shroud, tank and tail piece. White on the bottom with the belly pan and a carbon fibre middle with the hugger, side panels and front mudguard. Does look wicked in real life, honest M'lud :beer
And besides the cf panels wouldn't look right on a green or silver bike and on a black bike the contrast wouldn't be there. I've always loved white and carbon, they were made for each other :love
Once all my other mods are done I'll give her a polish and take some nice pics.
Yeh should be a lot more powerful. I love late braking and have had a few fade issues with standard brakes. I've got a set of carbotec lines and some Galfers to put on when I get the chance so should be doing 100mph endo's soon :laugh .

Your bike looks fantastic WK. :thumbup
I notice you also have Akrapovic carbon side panels -how much did they cost mate ? [And what do you think of them].
Cheers...Akra panels are about €150 a panel mate, they are beautifully finished but should be for the price. Quality costs .. :eek

Yeah, I meant the radiator shrouds. Couldn't think of the name at the time so called them side panels :banghead
