    Did any of you guys use or used these on your bikes? I am trying to find something suitable for my 2007 blade and so far these stand out and the carbon covers from Conquest Carbon. Any thoughts please.

    Thanks you

    I have R&G ones on my '07, look ok and are well made.
    If you do fit them, make sure you put thread seal or similar on the new longer bolts they supply, otherwise oil wicks down the threads and you suddenly find you have a mystery oil leak.
    It took me a while to twig where the oil was coming from on my right boot, everytime I went out for a ride.
    It's only the clutch cover side that leaks as the other side houses the generator which doesn't have any oil in.

    Cheers mate

    I will do. I already placed an order for an r&g set. Price was ok cause the carbon was way too much, over £200 for something cosmetic. Maybe later on..

    Fingers crossed i'll be ok. I'll check every bolt and seal everything to avoid any oil leak.
