Bestem battery cover
09/25/13 4:10 AM

For those that are looking at buying this product, think carefully! The product seems to be reasonably well made however there are NO locating points other than the bolt that holds it at the top. In my case the cover has a slight twist in it, this would not be a problem if the 2 lower locating tabs were there. To fix this I am going to buy a second hand cover & cut the locating tabs off & relocate them on to the new cover. I am NOT bagging Bestem over this but I think their product in this case could be improved.

I love my bestem CF heel guards! 11,000 miles later and they still look just like the day I installed them. Though I did have to drill out the holes on em. That sucks they would f-up like that. I was considering more cf from them.

Just and Idea. GM Double sided tape works wonders. Holds nicely and not to hard to remove when needed. Would be nice to have the mounting tabs tho. I've bought quite a few carbon fiber pieces from them for my old zx9 and zx10, and while the carbon quailty is top notch i"ve always had to drill out the mounting holes, and smooth out mounting tabs
