Fit and finish as good as it looks on the GB covers? Thinking about picking up a set. Thick enough to do their job?

Oh yeah, super happy with them, I think they are thick enough to take a good slide, and the quality is good all around.

Pro tip, make sure you discard the OEM bolts you take out of the case covers. The kit brings a set to use and you obviously want to use those, but discard the OEM ones you take out, they are one-time use only, if you try to put them back in, they'll snap!

If you ever want to take them GB covers off to part out the bike or something, you pretty much have to buy new replacement bolts from BMW.

I was half expecting an "after" shot with the fairing all scraped up :D

Heh, nooooope, taking care of this one. Although that's not out of the realm of possibilities if we are all being honest here ;)
