General description

The carbon fuel tank lower cover (upper part) for the BMW R 1300 GS is the upper part of the two-piece side fuel tank fairing. It occupies a central position on the motorcycle and is highly visible due to its location. With its sporty and elegant appearance, it adds a touch of luxury to your bike. Made from high-quality carbon, this fuel tank cover impresses with its lightness and robustness. The precise manufacturing ensures a perfect fit and a refined finish.

The Ilmberger name stands for the highest quality and innovation in carbon manufacturing. Each part is produced in our own facility, where we rely on prepreg specially developed for Ilmberger as the base material. This is processed in a complex autoclave procedure, offering numerous advantages.

Prepreg, a pre-impregnated carbon fabric, is characterised by a uniform resin distribution with a high fibre volume content. This leads to maximum strength and increases the flexibility of the components. Processing in an autoclave, a high-pressure oven that operates under controlled temperature and pressure conditions, ensures perfect, uniform curing and a flawless surface. This method prevents air inclusions in the material and ensures consistently high quality of the parts.

Our carbon parts are laminated by hand with great experience and care, enabling consistent fibre orientation without distortion. After curing in the autoclave, the edges of the parts are precisely cut by robot to ensure a perfect fit and the highest quality.

A globally unique step in Ilmberger's production is the complete plastic powder coating of all carbon parts. This coating not only protects the parts from environmental influences but also gives them an incomparable deep effect. No other carbon manufacturer offers this type of sealing, which prevents the parts from ageing and significantly extends their service life. Further information about plastic powder coating can be found here.

The final clear coat on this component is semi-matte and ensures a perfect, smooth surface that further accentuates the luxurious-sporty look of our carbon parts. Every part that leaves our production is a masterpiece of engineering and design, meeting the highest standards.

Ilmberger is not only a leading manufacturer of carbon parts for the aftermarket but also an acclaimed OEM producer for renowned manufacturers such as Ducati and BMW. Among other things, we manufacture parts for BMW in the World Superbike Championship (WSBK), as well as for the BMW factory team in the Endurance World Championship (EWC), where our parts are regularly tested under the toughest conditions.

The expertise gained from this flows into each of our products, thus improving every single component.
