Conquest Carbon = Triumph Carbon?

It's pretty close in my opinion - enough to satisfy my very fussy nature

Here's my hugger and chain guard from Conquest Carbon:



...and my tail light surround from CarbonFBR:



Personally I wouldn't choose the satin finish, unless you were changing the factory carbon too. If you were prepared to do that, I'd go for glossy (or satin) in the twill finish (as used for the Arrows exhaust tips) as it's far more striking.

You can't beat a bit of carbon

 

You're very welcome - so stick with the PLAIN weave in GLOSS and you won't go wrong.

I've only done the three pieces shown in my pics as I don't want to overdo the effect. I'm thinking about doing the exhaust heat shield, so that there's a line of carbon running through from front to back (if you get what I mean).

 

To fit the rear hugger does the rear wheel have to come out, at this time I am assuming it does

 

Yes

 

As darkman says...yes.

There are three visible/accessible bolts and a fourth tucked just above the chain guard. I changed the chain guard at the same time, so had the wheel off anyway.

Of course the single sided swing arm makes that an easy job - you need a 46mm socket and the nut is re-tightened to 146Nm.

Top tip - when removing the wheel, make a note which way the washers are fitted; the flatter washer is put back first, then the spring washer (or whatever it's called) sits with the concave side against the nut.

 

I would disagree about "spring washer" (otherwise known as disc spring or Belleville washer), convex side against the nut IMO. Or put another way contact point next to hole against the nut and outer edge contact point next to wheel.

 

In that case, it was fitted incorrectly in the first place - I just maintained how it had been installed

I bought the bike as new...first owner

 

Thanks guys

 

Best order the chainguard as well then

 

Hi,
I've had my chain guard and rear hugger off of my 1050s to spray Phantom Black and never removed the rear wheel, it's a bit fiddly but can be done.

 

1050s Pete is spot on, no need to remove rear wheel, support the wheel, on a stand or as I did with a scissor jack, let all the air out of the tyre, with a hex socket on a long extension on a driver and squashing the deflated tyre, the bolt can be got to! I would recommend conquest carbon also having just fitted hugger and rear light surround as Mr Triple, get a discount code!

 

It was a pleasure to inspire you to spend your cash

More pics when it's fitted please!
