The open holes in the frame have bugged me.  Small mod but big improvement IMO.

    They are nice,   Smiley.   Im not a big fan of the branding.  I like the more jewelry like Desmoworld plugs.

Another matter of personal preference. Myself, I like them.  waytogo
 Now you can consider replacing the frame and seat cowl screws.

I'm partial to DucaBike and made them using their plugs.

For the seat cowl look for a thread labeled "Seat Cowl Fastener Bling" dated April 4 in this forum.

The frame plug is much more complicated. I used a plug sized for the Diavel and expended several hours on a mill and lathe. The stock bolt is modified and the Duca plug was then modified to be a cover. Net effect is the same appearance as a plug.

 Desmoworld has cool stuff, but you have to order straight from Germany, I have a shipment of frame plugs and clutch parts arriving soon
