Thomas, you’re not going this far, right? seen in a BMW dealership today.... It’s been named “Kardashian bike” here, so be careful😉Hyperpro RSC steering damper installed, just not sure it function the way it should. I posted the issue in the technical section....in case someone can help me figuring it out.

Ohhh.... don’t tempt me, I need those rims 😂Thomas, you’re not going this far, right? seen in a BMW dealership today.... It’s been named “Kardashian bike” here, so be careful😉
x2Added the beautiful Ilmberger Carbon Fiber Hugger to my 2017 R NineT Scrambler! Man these folks know how to manufacture beautiful carbon fiber products
I was thinking about getting one of those, does the original ignition cover surround simply unclip or are there any screws to worry about?x2
I've got one of their carbon ignition switch surrounds.......the quality of manufacture is the bet I've seen for an off the shelf carbon fibre product.
Even the way it was presented in it's packaging shows IImberger are a class act.
I couldn’t agree with you more Gambo - the signature Ilmberger Carbon cloth bag creates an “unveiling” effect as you remove your beautiful new part from inside - almost justifies the price right in that moment, but certainly when they are installed on your bike - beautiful, strong and LIGHT components to be sure.x2

You’ve got it right Dave - the OEM cover just pops out and the IC clips in its place - no fasteners- my problem with that part is that the small black plastic that surrounds the keyhole (which matches the OEM ignition cover) remains and looks ugly against the beautiful carbon fiber, but I get hung up on little details like that. I just went back to the stock setup.I was thinking about getting one of those, does the original ignition cover surround simply unclip or are there any screws to worry about?
The Illmberger carbon part fits over the top of the stock ignition cover and hides it, it doesn't replace it, so there's no need to remove the fugly OE chunk of recycled plastic. The carbon cover adheres using 3M double sided tape. I'm not particularly enamoured with that so I plan on using a rubber/plastic bonding agent when I next lift the tank and can unclip the OE cover and do an 'off bike' bonding job, without fear of messing anything up.I was thinking about getting one of those, does the original ignition cover surround simply unclip or are there any screws to worry about?
I stand corrected on this - I had ordered one in the past from a competitor and it was a replacement part - I would be delighted if you could post an installed pic of the Ilmberger .....The Illmberger carbon part fits over the top of the stock ignition cover and hides it, it doesn't replace it, so there's no need to remove the fugly OE chunk of recycled plastic.

Yes @Hincksters I've kept the lully cloth bag.......I'v even kept the Illmberger cardboard box too! Sad innit!!
What really impressed me was the attention to detail in the way the carbon weave has been laid straight and perfectly symmetrically ....it doesn't bias to the left or right, or appear wonky as it can on some cheapo carbon parts.
It even has silk 'badges' inlaid into the resin on the underside...........IIRC one shows the brand name and part number, the other giving the batch number.....to me, that just smacks of a faith in both the quality, and quality control, of their products.
Yes I saw the ones that replace the stock ignition switch cover a few years ago on ebay, but haven't seen any for sale recently, only the Illmberger ones.I stand corrected on this - I had ordered one in the past from a competitor and it was a replacement part - I would be delighted if you could post an installed pic of the Ilmberger .....
