Looks super nice! I looked through his gallery, appears he made a full set of carbon pieces for his bike which looks amazing. |

Not sure it'll help you if you don't do facebook, but.... https://www.facebook.com/guillaume.coruble1 Most of the stuff on his page is in French, but it says he lives in Cypress Hill, California, so who knows. For all the work he did on them, the pictures aren't so great, but what can you do...

Don’t quote me but he mentioned $270 euro which is just over 300 US. Add shipping and such Well worth it and no more paint issues. I bet he could do fiberglass for those that want paint it, |

Mstrfrz, No S3 / M2 tank cover on that site. Also they have the old style front pulley cover. Would have to cut it up to get it to fit with the new rear motor mounts. so, where did he get that tank cover? (Message edited by 89rs1200 on April 23, 2020) |

If I remember right, one of the models was called the Tsunami overseas. I can't find anything on google though, so maybe he just came up with his own weather related name for his bike since he combined a Lightning and a Cyclone. |

"so, where did he get that tank cover? " If you're referring to the one in the pictures, it looks like he made it himself. There were pictures of a few steps in the process of the parts being made, plus some XB pieces, an at least one of what I believe was a Ducati part.

89 rs He makes and sells them. There is a post On FB and he is also looking at doing the small tanks. These covers come with a fuel cap seal and such to move the cap up above so it looks factory |

Hey, I spoke a few times with him. (I'm also French.) If my memory is good, he works in the carbon industry and on his spare time, he's doing carbon parts for his bikes. (He's located in the south of France.) Those are really well made, you can contact him with your eyes closed. |

I was wondering about the fuel cap, not only because of the appearance, but if the fuel cap was slightly recessed it's gonna collect the water every time it rains and send it all down under the cover. It'd be easy to make something to raise it up but you'd have to find something that won't get destroyed by the gas. |

Cap is relocated onto the cover and has a gasket between the cover and tank. The minimal amount if water that would collect there in the event of rain could be easily wiped off and the cap is sealed if installed properly so no water could leak in. |
