i googled. May not be quite what you're looking for, but it's somewhat relevant.

editage: A couple minutes more searching brought up this

<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by Movi &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I have ordered some stuff from opp with slightly different results. Mind you this was about 2 years ago I had ordered a carbon fiber race tail piece, undertail with battery tray, and a rear subframe for my gsxr at the time. First of all it took about 2 1/2 months to recieve the tail piece and subframe and about another month to get the undertail......and this was after they charged my credit card. You would think that since I bought the subframe from them that there really should be no problem with fit for the tail piece, but I was wrong. Both the tail piece and subframe had to be flexed inward to get them to mount to the frame. On top of that the spots that were indented on the tail piece for holes to be drilled to attach to the rear of the subframe were off so I had to drill holes at one spot and have this ugly indent for where the stupid screw was supposed to go. This is not all I tell you though.......in the middle of the tail piece along the top is where the big ugly seam was located for some reason so I had to paint a striped down the middle of the thing to hide this. When I got the undertail I just looked at it and deemed it hopeless and never installed it. Now I thought I might have been the odd one out and maybe other people have had good experiences with their product. Well I met a guy with a Honda 1000rr a few months ago and he has a complete set of opp carbon fiber bodywork mounted up to his bike and he told me a lot of the same horror stories that I experienced with them. The appearance of it wasn't really that good either. Plus the upper cowl didn't fit right so his headlights kind of stuck about a 1/4" out of the hole. Not anywhere close to being flush with the bodywork. Man I'd be pissed if that was my bike. Hope you have a better experience and the quality of their stuff has gone up but I know I will never do business with them again.</TD></TR></TABLE>
