1. What is the benefit of replacing the stock side cover with a carbon fiber side airvent panel on my Honda CB650R or CBR650R?
The Turn1 carbon fiber side airvent panel reduces weight, adds a premium motorsport look, and improves airflow to the engine bay. It’s a popular upgrade among riders who already use carbon fiber seat covers or front fenders on their CB650R/CBR650R builds.
2. Does the carbon side airvent panel fit both CB650R and CBR650R?
Yes! The fitment is identical for both Honda CB650R and CBR650R models from 2019 to 2023. It installs directly using existing factory mounts, with no modification required.
3. Can I install this carbon fiber side panel with other aftermarket parts?
Absolutely. This panel is low-profile and well-contoured, making it fully compatible with other accessories like swingarm, carbon fiber heat shields, and even windscreens. It’s often the first step in a full carbon makeover.
4. What’s the installation process like for the Honda CB650R side airvent panel?
Installation is quick and easy. Simply remove the OEM panel and use the original fasteners to attach this Turn1 carbon fiber panel. No drilling or adjustments are needed.
5. How does the finish of this side airvent panel compare to other Turn1 parts?
It features the same twill weave pattern and high-gloss UV-protected finish as other Turn1 carbon fiber parts. This ensures a uniform appearance when paired with side panels, belly panels, or engine covers.
