Yea, that gas cap pad will be gone within a week of putting it on. Doesn't stick well to the grooved surface. Mine flew off and hit me in the helmet.

Dont worry i'm not just slapping them on,
just when i was cleaning the bike the white 1 was coming off...
so i'm thinking of redoing the initail white one, then using the carbon fiber one ontop of it but just mis aligned a little bit so it looks 3D ish..
hard to explain but i want to play with this and make sure it just wont look stupid.

Re: i went ebay happy

Hope you did some research before you pulled the trigger on some of those items.

Good luck.

Re: i went ebay happy

worse case i figured i wasnt dropping so much on these items.

Levers are one thing you shouldn't go cheap on, they control how you move. What if they were to snap on you while you're riding? I would have made sure they woud CNC machined levers with good quality aluminum.

Bar ends. This applies to the levers as well but they aren't real "Carbon fiber". I bought a pair of mirrors and bar ends and was disappointed in the look because it was just painted carbon fiber.

Seat cowl has been asked around here a lot of times. These chinese seat cowls are hit or miss. The color match is ALWAYS off, some say it bolts up perfect to the bike, others say they have to do something to make it fit. Also people say there's a gap compared to OEM. Another issue I've heard is it isn't smooth looking as the screws underneath are screwed in too tight and poke the plastic.

You shouldn't get a logo on the cover unless you have a garage to store the bike in. It just makes it easier for thieves.

Chrome, and extended swing-arms... not many people like those on here.
