Material & Finish: Lightweight carbon fiber construction (often prepreg/autoclave cured) with UV-resistant clear coat, offered in gloss or matte finishes, and various weaves (e.g. twill).
• Compatible with both stock and aftermarket exhaust systems (depending on design) in many listings.
• Some versions are “fully sealed bottom” (no open window) for racing use, with optional cutouts for street setups.
Benefits / Purpose:
• Improves aesthetics (racing look, visible carbon)
• Reduces weight compared to plastics or OEM panels
• Offers protection to lower parts (engine bottom, hoses, wiring) from road debris
• May slightly improve aerodynamics/airflow under the bike
