Uh....I bought the tank pad for my RS. I also bought the master cylinder
cover (a.k.a. "heel guard"), and I held the rear hugger in my hand, but
decided not to buy it.

The rear hugger and the master cylinder cover are NOT true carbon fibre, but
a good facsimile. The Triumph tank pad I have, however, is real carbon fibre
construction, without question. I know this material when I see it, because
it was top-secret stuff when I test-machined some of it years ago...for the
B-2 Stealth Bomber. I suppose it's possible Triumph is putting out two
different part types with the same part number, but not likely.
