By pairing this cover with other Turn1 performance parts like rear huggers and exhaust pipe heat shield, you can optimize the bike’s weight distribution and overall responsiveness.
6. How do I maintain the forged carbon fiber finish?
To keep your cover looking like new:
- Wipe it down regularly with a soft microfiber cloth and mild soap solution.
- Avoid abrasive sponges or brushes that can scratch the surface.
- Apply a UV-protective polish or wax occasionally to maintain the glossy finish and prevent discoloration.
With proper care, the forged carbon fiber will retain its premium shine for years.
