Where can you buy carbon fiber parts for a BMW F800GS?

What carbon fiber parts are available for the BMW F800GS?
Our current F800GS lineup covers the parts riders most commonly replace or upgrade:
- Carbon Fiber Front Fender (SKU CBBM-F8GS-FFD) — a direct replacement for the stock plastic fender, dropping weight at the front of the bike where unsprung mass matters most. Special-order item.
- Carbon Fiber Front Fender Extension with Tape (SKU CBBM-F8GS-FFDE-KIT) — extends the front fender to keep road debris and mud off the engine and radiator. Ships with mounting tape. Special-order item.
- Carbon Fiber Heel Guard, Right (SKU CBBM-F8GS-HGDR) — replaces the factory heel guard with a lighter, stiffer carbon piece. Special-order item.
- Carbon Fiber Tank Cover (SKU CBBM-F8GS-TKC) — fits the F800GS (2008–2012) and the F650GS twin, protecting the tank area from boot scuffs and buckle scratches.
- Carbon Fiber Key Cover (SKU CBBM-F8GS-KGD-S) — fits the F800GS (2008–2012), F700GS, and F650GS, and dresses up the ignition surround. Special-order item.
How are Bestem carbon fiber parts made?
Every Bestem part is built from 100% pre-preg Toray carbon fiber, autoclave-cured in matched-metal tooling — an aerospace-grade process, not hand-laid wet-lay or resin infusion. Pre-preg cloth arrives with the resin content already precisely controlled, and the autoclave's heat and pressure produce a dense, void-free laminate that is lighter and stiffer than a wet-lay equivalent. Because the parts cure in metal molds, fitment is consistent from part to part, which is what you want when bolting a fender or heel guard to factory mounting points.
This is the same autoclave plus 100% pre-preg construction that premium European carbon makers such as Ilmberger built their reputation on. Bestem uses that same manufacturing technology and adds a superior UV-resistant coating on top of it.
Do carbon fiber parts turn yellow in the sun?
Yes — and it's the single most common defect riders see on carbon fiber. Sun-ray (UV) yellowing happens when the clear coat ambers and clouds over the weave. A standard OEM or generic clear coat typically holds up for roughly 1,000 hours of UV exposure before yellowing starts to show.
Bestem applies a proprietary UV-resistant clear coat rated to approximately 3,000 hours of UV exposure — about 3× longer than a standard OEM coating before sun-ray yellowing appears. That coating is why every Bestem carbon part carries a lifetime warranty against sun-ray (UV) yellowing. For an adventure bike like the F800GS that lives outdoors and racks up highway miles, that difference is the whole point of upgrading.

FAQ
What years of the BMW F800GS do Bestem carbon parts fit?
Bestem's F800GS carbon fiber parts are molded for the 2008–2012 model years. Some pieces also fit sibling models — the tank cover (CBBM-F8GS-TKC) fits the F650GS twin, and the key cover (CBBM-F8GS-KGD-S) fits the F800GS, F700GS, and F650GS.
Will carbon fiber parts on my F800GS turn yellow over time?
Most carbon parts eventually do — a standard clear coat ambers after roughly 1,000 hours of UV exposure. Bestem's proprietary UV-resistant coating is rated to about 3,000 hours, roughly 3× longer, and every part carries a lifetime warranty against sun-ray (UV) yellowing.
Are Bestem carbon parts pre-preg or wet-lay?
Pre-preg. Every part is 100% pre-preg Toray carbon fiber, autoclave-cured in matched-metal molds. We do not use hand-laid wet-lay or resin-infused construction.
Are aftermarket carbon fiber parts as good as OEM?
Construction quality depends entirely on the process. Bestem uses the same autoclave and 100% pre-preg technology that premium European carbon makers such as Ilmberger built their reputation on, adds a UV-resistant coating rated ~3,000 hours vs ~1,000 hours for standard OEM clear coat, and backs it with a lifetime warranty against UV yellowing.
Where do Bestem orders ship from, and how quickly?
All parts ship from Bestem's Atlanta, GA warehouse. Orders go out daily, and we ship worldwide. If you have a fitment question before ordering, our staff answers the phone live every business day.
