    Ok who has carbon infill panels on an RR8+, what make are they and how happy are you with them? I have a HATE for 99% of them as they just NEVER fit fight, some people dont care about gaps, now deformed OEM panels that the carbon ones pull out of line as they dont flex but I do, time and time again people bring me POWERCRAP to fit to there bikes and they just don't fit? :( How hard is it for them to copy an OEM panel? What make me laugh as people love it, pay double for it, even if it don't fit, has velcro to hold it on, has no lugs to interlock into OEM stuff, and Zip ties to keep it from blowing away!!!... lol Kills me.....lol Ah now I feel better! :)
