Hi all
Does anybody have any experience of a company called "zero limits" their products seem a lot cheaper than the likes of ilmberger, any comments on fitment,quality issues,alternative suppliers etc.

Cheers

A friend of mine Paul runs it.
As far as I'm concerned he does real quality pieces.
Made in China but he's been doing his best to turn out a good affordable product.
I've got some of his carbon fairings on my tls. Compared with others I've seen they are superb. He's been building up his stock over the last few years .

I have an Ilmberger on my GSA and well made of course. The issue is the gap to the standard rear shovel so muck gets sucked forwards by the slipstream to cover my legs and the rear shock. The bike is actually less dirty without the standard shovel.

I've already have some carbon parts from CarbonWorld.de (10% discount code ;-)and cdt-r.com (Carbon Design Team dealers) in addition to DP carbon parts - happy with the quality of the products and the match for the OE stuff.
Kinda got the carbon bug now, never thought I'd be one for adding carbon bits but this affliction has taken hold! lol
Been looking at getting carbon front fairing quarter panels, not many places you can get these for some reason - talked to Steve at Conquest Carbon, liked what he had to say and would have ordered from him except the manufacture/delivery time didn't work for me.
Following a bit more research I contacted Nigel at Sandbar Composites (Uk distributor for Ilmberger Carbon) -
http://www.sandbarcomposites.co.uk
...talked to him at length, an education in some ways as he enlightened me to the pros and cons and techy stuff related to different manufacturing.
He's a very straight talking kind of guy, tells it how it is! My impression is that Ilmberger carbon products tend to be a bit more expensive due to the superior quality of the parts and their close association with bike manufacturers such as Ducati (and in fact have/do design/make parts for manufacturers at times).
I'll feedback soon when the fairing panels arrive.

Zero limits do not get my vote, I ordered about 500 notes of stuff told me 2 weeks than 4 weeks after 6 i asked for my money back, time waits for no one in business and false promises do not bring customers back.

Nigel @ sandbar is a nice chap always helpful no bullshit promises and you no the products are the best coming out of Germany.

Also other manufacturers weave different so some weave does not match up with different suppliers.

Buy cheap pay twice !!

Bike Mag recently ran an article about their GS with BST wheels and posh suspension (Ohlins maybe) they touched down a rocker cover on a traffic island.
