Well Ill post anyway. I took mine off last year. Im putting them back on! Too much crap gets into the belts and guide/ tention wheel bearing. Now I need new belts again.
Yeah as much as i love the look... i think im gonna pass.... UNLESS i can come across the cf ones with the mesh window....
you should have been convinced by the crap on the road today alone.
Anyone ever cut out the face of the covers and replace with clear plexi? I was considering this on my 99 750 dark.

i ended up cutting my covers on my own and ended up botching the inspection cover on the horizontal cylinder. Took it off traced the old one and cut a piece of lexan out for it, threw a led behind it and bam held up just fine and looks pretty cool if i say so myself.

Did you cut it while it was still on the bike???
no there are only 3 screw that hold the covers on so its no big deal.

I was just wondering how you messed up the inspection cover...
long story short drill bit i was using slipped and made a hole where i didn't want it [bang] should have been more careful, but i think it looks better with the lexan anyway [Dolph]
I sandblasted my horizontal head today, and with the number of little stones that I found caught between the cooling fins, there's no way I'm ever running open belts.
