Not sure of the brand name, I think it was Powerbronze or Puig... but I used to have the exact same one on my 08 FZ1 and I got it on Ebay.
It seems the belly pans for our bikes are becoming hard to find and the prices have gone up quite a bit. You may get lucky searching Ebay...

Thanks Jboat! I'll setup an eBay search and see what pops up.

08 FZ1 Powerbronze Belly Pan Chin Fairing Installed
Just thought I'd post up a few pics of the Powerbronze Lower Belly Pan. I got it on Ebay for $148 shipped from superbikestore_llc. I have the grey bike so I decided on the carbon look one. It matches my bike very well. The fitment was a little tricky but not too bad... Overall, I am...
Did a quick search...It was Powerbronze...

I just bought this one off ebay.

I have yet to install it. It appears on the smaller side as far as belly pans go.
Beware of the carbon fiber from china one, I bought and paid and they sent me some weird tracking updates then it never showed.
I got my money back from that one.

Thanks, I feel The gloss black doesn’t clash too much with the bikes colors as it goes with the black of the engine pretty well.
I like the larger look of the one originally posted on this thread, but for $116.50 I’m pretty satisfied With this smaller one.
It was fairly easy to install with decent enough directions.

So the ebay Chinese carbon fiber finally showed up.
I emailed the seller about shipping back but they never replied.
Today for grins I installed it, I had to do some “fitting “ here and there to fix some minor design flaws.
I think I like the cheaper black better.
It covers more of the exhaust, which I like the looks of better.
Time pending I’ll be reinstalling the black one soon.
I also installed some 1” risers today- I’m a fan of those as well.

I like them both, but I agree I would choose the black one. I bet the 1" risers take some strain off the lower back.

The risers are actually listed as 7/8” on the eBay add, I rounded up in my description .
They are as tall as you can go without having to extend brake lines Or anything else. It‘s close, but works with a little tweak on the position of the banjo bolt on the master cylinder and clipping the zip tie holding the main brake line to the throttle side fork.
7/8” is a moderate difference and had me sitting way more straight up than before- weight noticeably off hands/ wrist.
I’ll stay with this. A 2” riser that a lot of riders mention seems like it would make a huge difference, I’ll stay with moderate . It only cost $20 too.
I think it’s got to be the most drastic change to the bike that can be had for $20.

I reinstalled the black cowling this morning.
The carbon fiber (possibly a wrap on black plastic?) is
wrapped back up awaiting its next purpose in life.
Anyone here interested in the carbon fiber one can hit me up with a conversation and we can talk.
As far as the 1” uh I mean 7/8” risers go- I just got back from. 19 mile run and it now feels perfect- no learning curve really needed.
