1. What makes these Tank Side Panels for BMW S1000RR unique?
These tank side panels are crafted from 100% autoclave-processed carbon fiber, making them stronger, lighter, and more durable than OEM plastic parts. They don’t just improve aesthetics – the lightweight design also helps reduce the bike’s overall weight, enhancing performance. Riders often combine them with our BMW Carbon Fiber Front Fairings for a cohesive upgrade.
2. Will these carbon fiber side panels fit my BMW?
Yes. These panels are designed for a direct OEM replacement fit on the following models:
- BMW S1000RR (2015-2019)
- BMW S1000R (2014-2020)
- BMW HP4
Installation is straightforward with factory mounting points, so no modifications are needed.
3. How are these BMW S1000RR carbon fiber panels manufactured?
Turn1 uses the autoclave process, where carbon fiber is cured under high temperature and pressure for maximum rigidity. After curing, each piece is CNC waterjet cut and robot-arm finished, ensuring precise fitment and flawless detailing. This is the same process used on our BMW Carbon Fiber Rear Hugger Fender.
4. Do these panels affect performance or are they mainly cosmetic?
While they enhance the visual appeal of your BMW with a race-ready carbon look, the lightweight construction also provides real functional benefits. Reducing unnecessary weight improves handling and stability, making them both a performance and aesthetic upgrade.
5. Will the carbon fiber weave match my other BMW carbon fiber parts?
Yes. The panels feature a twill glossy finish that aligns seamlessly with other Turn1 BMW carbon fiber parts, ensuring a uniform and premium look. Whether you add a belly pan, or swingarm, everything will have a consistent finish.
