Hey everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone has owned/seen any carbon fiber for an x1 from the East Carbon Company.

They have really great prices on it, but I don't know what the quality is like. I want to buy their front fender, tank, windscreen, and gauge cover.
Any information would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Chuck

You get what you pay for.

American Sport Bike has probably the best aftermarket Carbon I have seen offered to date...

I second that, American Sport Bike has what you need. Yes, it is a bit more but you pay for what you get in quality no doubt. I will never consider anything else after having been dealt some junk off of fleabay.

That stuff from East Carbon Company on ebay is a pain. Doesn't quite fit right a lot of adjusting. I have a carbon under seat pan from Al Lighton (americansportbike). bought it used instead of new, bolt right in. GREAT quality.

I have several aftermarket pieces of carbon and Al has the best fit, finish and quality of any of it.

I love my American Sport Bike carbon fibre S2 front fender. That being said, I plan on having Airtech build the rest of my body panels in CF just because I haven't found another company that I feel is equipped for the task. A bit pricey, but the end result will be worth it (who wouldn't love a Carbon Fibre S2?). Just for the front fairing the quote was $1000 to build.
