How long ago did you buy the MDI item,i'm wondering if i should wait to see which one you wanna keep and possibly sell the other or put an order in now.
Hopefully I should have the order by the end of the week mate, if not it shouldn't be far away. I would hold off and I will give you a definite report on it. When I purchased the front guard, rear hunger/chain guard, tank cove & side covers under the tank, I had them all rubbed back and more clear applied to give that deep wet look so I am hoping the MDI pieces look that way.
I bought 2 front guards for my 2009 R1 from CrownMoto and they were absolute crap, I still have one because they didn't want it back and I sent he other one back once the paid me the return freight. So I ended up buying a Akrapovic unit and it is the best, perfect carbon 10 out of 10 :fact
