definitely NOT made with an autoclave...you can see tiny air bubbles all through the finish. the only reason they are so shiny is because they are clearcoated. most carbon you see for sale just comes with a UV gelcoat (similar to that on boats), that can't shine like a urethane clearcoat will. the quality looks ok, but there's some weird stuff going on on the upper where it thins out next to the windscreen. looks unfinished there. also they don't show any shots of the backside, but from what i can see, it doesn't look like very good quality. it looks like theres a lot of fiberglass backing, which will negate any weight savings you'd get from the carbon, and probably weigh more than the stock fairings.
the price really isn't that much better than OPP, but at least you know these are in stock and ready to ship, with OPP, you never know...I've heard of people waiting 6 months or more for parts they ordered to come in.
