Dry carbon side covers for R18

Lighten, strengthen, and elevate your cruiser's sides with a premium, ready-to-install piece

Equip your motorcycle with a pair of dry carbon side covers designed for direct fitment on the original mounting points. Lighter and stiffer than standard trim panels, these composite side pieces deliver a significant weight reduction, impeccable dimensional stability, and a decidedly high-end look.

The dry carbon (autoclave) process ensures dense, precise layup for a clean, durable finish. The exposed carbon texture enhances your R18's visual identity while adding a sporty, refined touch to your cruiser, bobber, or touring build. The design respects the original geometry for a perfect fit and a clean result with no tinkering.

Why upgrade the stock part?

OEM side trims are functional but often heavier and less visually refined. On a cruiser with strong style, every detail counts: shedding weight and refining the side panels transforms the overall look and perceived quality.

• Higher weight, slightly affecting agility

• Standard look that lacks depth and texture

• Rigidity and longevity can suffer against micro-vibrations

By choosing these dry carbon side covers, you get an unrivaled style/weight/rigidity combo. The plug & play fit respects the bike and avoids compromise: you keep compatibility with original mounting points while gaining in finish and character.

Ideal use:

• Premium builds seeking lightweight, high-end bodywork

• Custom, bobber, and touring enthusiasts wanting a bolder style

• Daily use with a durable, well-finished part

• Show projects or display bikes where every detail matters

• Direct replacement of a damaged side panel to restore a flawless finish
