Carbon Quality...
With so many choices out there for our bikes, let's find the best. What's the input on these:
Shift-Tech
Motowheels
Magical Racing
Carbon Dry
CarbonWorld
Ducati Performance
Also, what other distributors or manufacturers are out there that make a quality product?

Well, kinda sorta, I know I named the most popular and best, but I was hoping to get someone's insight on MDI Carbonfiber out of Chino, California.

Funny I used to see lots of their stuff (MDI Carbon)on e-bay but lately they seem to have dissapeared.
I just bought some from East Carbon. Just have to wait and see how it looks when it gets here. The other question is, how will it look in three years?
Brad.

I have some MDI on my R6. The parts fit exactly like the stock plastics but one of them arrived with a small nick that spidered out. Would I use it on my R6, yep. Would I use it on my Duc, no fuckin way.

This thread wouldn't be complete without me asking how to clean my chain, also - is WD40 OK for lubing the chain? 
As far as carbon goes, with a late model Supersport there isn't so much choice with vendors, so for some parts you just have to buy what is available.
Of the bits and pieces I have bought so far the best quality would have to be Geelong Carbon Craft (rear hugger and fairing air ducts) http://www.geelongcarboncraft.com.au/ followed by a front fender I got from Ducati Kaemna (not sure of actual brand) http://www.kaemna.de and the belt covers from Desmo Porsche (unsure of brand, but looks identical to DP)
