Worth asking BST directly?Carbon wheels were dropped when ABS came in. I could never get a straight answer as to why whenever I asked, but the bottom line is that the carbon wheels designed for pre ABS do not fit on ABS (so I was told).
And I guess Norton were too cash strapped to invest in new designs.
I can’t see TVS seeing it as a worthwhile investment either.
I think there is a carbon rear hugger and chain guard available, but not the number plate mount,Ride Apart link

I asked about this when ordering mine. They said they could not supply for abs equipped bikes...one of the first qualifying questions they asked about my bike.Worth asking BST directly?
On some of the pictures and videos the chain guard and hugger look like plastic.I think there is a carbon rear hugger and chain guard available, but not the number plate mount,
I just compared it to the BOM sheet and thought the same thing.Interesting to see they're still using Donington Norton part numbers..
How’s the quality Gj, as you expect by the look of it.
Quality looks excellent mate. May pick a few spares up - not sure why they are not doing the rear number plate hanger. Make sure you keep it that clean !
These should let you zoom in a bit.
Suffice to say, I’m happy.
But the quality looks good.So all along they been asking for part numbers and here, they are using the same as Donington. When will the madness end ?
Still made in China too.
My 2016 took six weeks from placing order to delivery.I had a call from the factory last week, as I made an enquiry online for a new bike.
The chap was very pleasant and said if I placed on order now, the bike would be delivered in March next year.
(I suppose it's better that they set expectations now, rather than a host of broken promises as before under SG).
He did mention though, that they are offering a Carbon Pack as an accessory, which includes headlamp cowell, number plate hanger, chain guard, and possibly rear hugger, but priced at £1300!!!
He wasn't sure if you could order just some of the bits indivdually, as he was quite new and they are still sorting out these final details.
I'm going to the bike show at NEC in November to hopefully find out more from the Norton team there.
At the moment, they're still deciding on the dealer network and will advise us all soon, but for now, you order/collect/service all at the factory.
