Still looking for tank/airbox, front fender, belt guards (front and rear), oil cooler, and flyscreen maybe a solo seat cowl that fits a low seat.

BuellerPilot, as far as the undertail goes, the visible part looks fantastic. The backside looks pretty rough. I think the Chinese ebay parts are one layer carbon fiber, two layers fiberglass. And the backside is just plain unfinished fiberglass. I still haven't installed it, so I don't know what the fit is gonna be like.

Also, may I recommend that when you purchase your carbon fiber stuff, stick completely with the same vendor. If you want to do it right (and expensively), go Buell OEM. If you want to make every possible part of your bike carbon fiber, and do it cheaply, go with Chinese ebay parts. And if you want some happy medium in between find a quality aftermarket supplier like ASB.

The reason I have the Buell part for sale is because it doesn't match the weave of my new Chinese undertray piece.
 
I understand what your saying. Theres a two most common weaves, standard weave and 2X2 twill. As long as you stick to one or another you'll be fine as far as matching patterns. But the resins will differ in quality, color and longevity of the part before yellowing. I plan on sticking with the same weave (standard) and will be applying my own clear coat to all the parts I get, so no worries of stuff not matching.

how about buell brand CF heel guards?

they don't fit as nice as I would like (same as the buell rear huger that I will be selling) and I would like to buy some from ASB instead
 
Pics of them installed? Those do not have the holes drilled in them correct? Funny the "Buell" factory shit don't fit worth a poo.
 
Ill take pictures in a few minutes, I am about to go and pick up my bike [happy dance'n] but they came with holes drilled already.
 
What about a one of a kind carbon fiber instrument cover? I had mine custom made and it is awesome

I have a spare instrument cowl to be used as a mold. Cost for this cool piece is $150.
 
how about some frame puck covers?

got them from ASB for $100 just a week or so ago
long story short they say the tape isn't to be fully trusted but it has held on the shop bike in excess of 100 mph
they blew off my bike in a 35mph zone on my way to the hardware store to get clear silicone to stick them on with in addition to the 3m tape (yea I put the tape on right too, held it for a few minutes and gave it most of a day to set up before I rode)
not a lot of damage that I can tell only one spot got scuffed the rest just barely scratched.
