Ok, don't know why I feel compeled to join this thread.  But... why is it so important that they are "real" carbon fiber?  Really, are you trying to save wieght?  The little aluminum piece wieghs nothing, and a piece of carbon fiber might wiegh slightly less.  You could save more wieght by spitting out your chewing gum before a ride.  If its abrasion resistance your looking for I bet that a carbon fiber piece would get torn up pretty well in a fall too.  Not to mention the first thing that contacts the ground is the ignition cover.  Case savers, or a stainless ignition cover would work better.

I figured every body bought them cause they look cool.  They work just like every other "carbon fiber" sticker that people sell for bikes.
