Which cover? The nicer ones that American Sport Bike sells or the ebay junk? Mine fit perfectly. |

Perfectly? I see a very uneven gap from cover to frame... Not trying to knock it- it is a sweet looking piece! ...but for $360 or whatever that thing costs, I'd be pissed about the fitment. I don't get it- why is carbon so hard to make and make it fit properly? |

Mine's from American Sport Bike Fitment was overall good. Holes were drilled slightly off but not enough that it caused any major problems. I also have the windscreen and front fender from American Sport Bike |

And andy. Look at a lot of the stock airbox covers. The gap on mine was much worse that Froggy's carbon cover. |

Oh I know! I've gotten my stocker to fit well with some tweaking (although it wasn't THAT bad to big with). I'm just sayin that for $360, can't they make one that bolts up and fits? I just don't get why that's a difficult thing. Are the frame tolerances that bad? Or is it a manufacturing process of the carbon that allows great differences from part to part? Or is it too hard to be very precise? I would love to go with a carbon tank cover, tank trim pieces and fender on my X1...I just don't see myself spending $750 on parts that don't fit well! |
