Neil, just seal all the carbon edges with superglue or similar and you should be ok. You could always ask FibreLyte to make you a thicker one.

Some people of our club advised me to use a double front shocktower, as they broke the single ones quite often.

I saw a shocktower from Tech Racing on a TRF501 at the Belgian GP. it's about 1,5mm thicker compared to the stock one. The guy said he got it from ebay.

I run the Tech racing front shock tower and it is considerably thicker than the stock one, not sure how much difference it makes, as I have never broken the standard one.
