1. What makes forged carbon different from regular carbon fiber?
Forged carbon features randomly aligned fibers pressed into a mold, resulting in a marbled, high-performance finish. It offers the same lightweight strength as traditional carbon fiber, but with a more modern, unique appearance. Many riders combine this part with other forged carbon Yamaha R1 upgrades from Turn1 for a cohesive look.
2. Will this undertail fairing fit my Yamaha R1M?
Yes, this product is fully compatible with both standard Yamaha R1 and R1M models from 2015 to 2021. It’s precision-molded to OEM dimensions for a perfect fit without modifications.
3. Is the forged carbon clear-coated and UV protected?
Absolutely. The undertail fairings come finished with a high-gloss, UV-resistant clear coat that protects against fading, yellowing, and road debris damage—especially important for exposed rear-end parts.
4. Does this undertail fairing affect the exhaust fitment or tail tidy?
Not at all. It is designed to work alongside most aftermarket exhausts and tail tidy kits. The precise shape ensures clearance and heat tolerance for both stock and performance setups. For maximum effect, consider pairing with our carbon fiber belly panels.
5. How is it installed?
Installation is simple and uses the existing factory mounting points. No cutting or drilling is necessary. A quick visual check and basic hand tools are all you need.
