Got these in the mail today:

Definitely hand laid carbon with fiberglass backing, but, for $40, they are a steal. Stockers weighed in at 490 grams, these were around 40

Fit was perfect, so that's now almost 7lb unsprung weight off the front wheel using Carbon Dry Fender, these, and replacing all front end bolts with Ti/Alu.
 
No, I mean 7 lbs, all weighed on a pretty accurate scale, has 25 gram increments.

The Rocket truly is heavy for the sake of being heavy lol.
 
I'm confused, 454 grams in a lb, so 5 lbs saved on the bolts?
 
All told, Fender, Guards, and bolts were 7 lbs. The guards were just under 1 lb off.
 
Robert,
Gonna have to ask you for the link.
Unable to find under the Carbon Dry.
 
I bought some as well im still waiting on them , it seem there are none left but you can always asked when they are making more just type Carbon Fibre Triumph Rocket 3 Fork Guards Protector Panel into ebay or find the seller cactus_composites or email cactuscomposites@hotmail.com..
