Anybody have the Bestem Carbon Fiber Tank Cover for the Hyper?

Anyone have one and willing to post a pic or comment on the fitment and quality? I have been looking around and only found some pics but from far and no reviews on it.

do yourself a favor and purchase one from Shift-Tech as myself and many others have done here. the quality, fit and finish will not disappoint you. their pieces are worth every penny, and any other carbon provider other than DP (in some cases they're worse) isn't worth the savings in my eyes.

best success

I really did consider them, in fact I'm waiting on a part from them today. Only reason I'm not opting for the one from shift tech is because I don't like the groves on the tank fairing. Would mind seeing a pic on the bike, might change my mind

High quality CF from a sponsor:

EDIT: one more option: http://www.oppracing.com/bodywork/ty...permotard/355/ I don't know anything about the quality of the oppracing stuff, just thought I'd throw that out there as well.

I have the shift-tech model mounted on my bike. I like how it carries the same design as the new belt covers. Will try and post a pic soon.

This is definitely finding a way onto my bike - it's so strange and cool.
