    im sure i have heard varied reports on these some say fit lovely others say not to good. i guess this depends on the state of your wings also if they line up properly. im sure k-tec sell them.

    Cool, I wonder where K-tec source them from., I've seen a few where they seem to look out of sorts at the top of the bonnet, but it might be where the catch needs re-aligning. Thats quite alot of money for a bonnet, considering I only paid 50 for a new bonnet not long back, are they drastically lighter?

    some fit nice others not so nice, check for crappy weave patterns aswell.
    over time they seem to warp aswell.
