I fitted an original Duc. perf. M.S. production carbon undertray to my 996S when I bought it. Slightly nerve racking cutting up the brand new panels!
It's easier said than done if you want a decent looking job. The problem area is at the front where you'll need to thin the return on the fairing to clear the belly pan, as the original plastics are thicker than the carbon that it's designed to fit.
Then all you've got to do is make up the brackets - ho hum! I borrowed some original brkts. to copy, but the fit was crap, so I made my own, didn't take too many hours!
If you're interested I've got a new pair of 1 piece fairing sides in white finish g.r.p. that I was planning to use, but I'm now considering carbon instead.
It's definitely worth doing though, looks a treat when it's on the bike, not that too many people will notice. Apart from the dealers doing the servicing, which usually gets favourable comments.
