It looks good just the way it sits. Especially that little carbon fiber piece on the top by the tank. I wouldn’t think that I’d leave it the way it is.
Great build, Mani! I have a black Diavel V4 and I've hated my stock exhaust cover, too. The ones I've seen powder-coated black look great, but this carbon one could be a great option as well. Does the carbon exhaust cover have options for black fasteners instead of silver? Again, great work! 👍

I am getting tired of these bike blogs of loosing weight by miniscule amounts by replacing plastic with carbon .....what difference does it make to performance if a 200HP bike loses 10 Pounds (70,000 grams) ......its completely ridiculous...and just another way of extracting cash from the uniformed....rant over!
I think it's a highlight of the combination of looks and performance, just something to talk about. But you're right it's probably not going to make any difference unless it's wheels.
Removing plastic is primarily an aesthetic exercise that has the benefit of weight loss. And the carbon trim pieces then tie in the aesthetics with the main carbon pieces that are the significant weight savings (wheels = unsprung pounds). Just leave your bike stock and let others add whatever they want. Some of us consider every piece of carbon to be an improvement in function and appearance, because it IS.
