Seems there's quite a bit of carbon bits on ebay from china for the xb.

I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the parts? Fit and finish?

Yes.

I ordered a whole set of Carbon fairings for my 2001 R6 from some ebay china carbon ship.

Absolutely shit. SHIT. None of the mounts matched up, not a single one. Fit and finish was garbage. Ended up having paypal reimburse me for fees.

If you want carbon, get it from American Sport Bike, Trojan, or a similar reputable shop and not the junk thats on Ebay. The Chinese stuff is made to be as cheap as possible and it shows. The good stuff does cost quite a bit more, but you get what you pay for with this.
