    From ebay, some French guy doing nice stuff. Just getting used to this site, will try and get a link, not sure if he does gloss, though I think I got my gloss heel plates from him too, very good quality.

    Ok ta .think I looked at that on Ebay, trouble is you can never be sure of quality by a picture, hence asking for recomendations

    I have found Pyramid plastics to be good in the past
    https://www.pyramid-plastics.co.uk/
    I have had one of their CF huggers on my 955i for over 15 yrs and it is still good

    CarbonFBR are brilliant and Jacques has given a 10% for forum members in the past. Drop him an email via his website: http://www.carbonfbr.com

    Make sure you're clear on whether you want Plain (to match the Triumph carbon parts) or Twill (matches the tips of the Arrow cans). Personally, I love the look of Twill, but prefer to fit Plain carbon parts, to retain a more factory look.

    Here are some photos of my favourite bits :yum

    Heatshield and Tail Surround from CarbonFBR, Hugger is Conquest Carbon (as is the Chain Guard), Tank Sides are Triumph.

    Be careful with the spec of the Heatshield - it's different for 2016 and 2018 bikes. You can read about that here: https://www.thetriumphforum.com/thr...-–-ownership-thread.13318/page-13#post-228922

    Mr. T, the carbon and white paint look so nice together. I love my matt black paint, but it doesn’t have the same contrast as it does with the white pearl. It like jewelry on your bike, I love it. Where’s a tissue, I need to whip the drool from my chin :p.

    I originally ordered matt black...then changed to white because of the reasons you describe...and it's much more rewarding to shine up (I had matt grey before).

    Tissues? I'm just glad that it's only for your chin :scream:

    My previous bike was white, so I wanted a change I guess. And yeah, I do miss polishing up the paint. As far as the tissue, yeah you got me there :p.
