Default Quality Carbon?

I've been having a look around for a carbon front mudguard and hugger for a K6 Sport, but there doesn't seem to be much choice available. Have seen the Powerbronze type but was looking for the good quality plain carbon like you can get for most of the modern superbikes. Would be appreciated if anybody knows of anyone who does them or has some on their bike already.

Suzuki made the best carbon front fender, no mesh holes in them.

I had a Pyramid carbon hugger on my K5, it looked fine, fitted OK and came reasonably cheap from ebay. Recommended.

I've just ordered a similar one direct from Pyramid for the new thou, time will tell whether it's a decent item. The Powerbronze ones are absolutely minging so I'd not go near them with someone else's bargepole.

Skidmarx do them, not sure on the quality, I've got a carbon hugger made by them it looks ok but I had to pack it out between it and the swingarm to stop it catching on the rear tyre, also can see a mark where they were going to round it off at the end of the chain guard part but never bothered. Like the colour/texture of the weave though.
As Dangerous Dave said Suzuki make the best quality one but last time I looked they were about 240 quid.

Thanks for the info, had a look on the Suzuki site and they certainly look the part but the price is a tad high me thinks even for quality items. Pity they dont do a half price January Sale Will check out the Pyramid ones when i get a chance.
