eBay CF heel guards NOT so great

I bought for a fairly low price a set of heel guards for my Hyper on eBay. Item number is 260336974046 if anyone wants to look or the ad is below.

Anyway, they ain't much as we say out here in the country. I would not recommend them. Maybe I'm missing something, but I think they are too small to be of any use & don't really line up well w/ the bike. Nice, thick carbon fibre, I must admit.

I send this just to help other Hyper riders learn from this rider's mistake.

It says there's a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee. Contact them and let them know what's wrong. I did that with Bestem and they send me a new set of rear covers (with a return label for the parts I didn't want to keep), no questions asked! Now that's Excellent Customer Service.

You do know that they're "Passenger" heel guards, not heel guards to replace the passenger peg units. Right?

I've been quite happy with the billet aluminum heel guards from
MotoWizards. I believe they might be available in black as well as
the natural silver. Around $60 plus shipping. If anyone is interested,
they are at e-mail:motowizards@hotmail.com I have no connection
with this business, just a happy customer...

+1 the carbon ones just replace the aluminum heel guards. Aloha Alex

My mistake - I was dreaming them into cheap replacements to clean up the bike after removing the pax pegs. O well.
