I love the look of this thing... Wish it was a bit wider but kinda want to order it just to see what can be done

 
 
You could tig weld something on to make it wider I'm sure. The extra metal can't be too expensive. If it screws it up your out barely any money anyways. What metal is this thing made of anyways?

Aluminum, supposedly.

Ordered mine about a wk. ago on eBay. I think I paid about 10 dollars more though. Hasn't arrived yet.
Keep us posted on what you think.
Installed yesterday. No fitment issues. Don't hate it, but don't love it either. I think I just prefer the naked look.

If there's no fitment issues, I might be back on board with this. Found them for 21.99 free shipping and in 5 different colors now.

Alright I'll bite, in red and free shipping I can't help myself either.

The more I see it the more I like it. Glad I got one, hope it fits just as well as yours. The one I ordered doesn't have the MT-07 logo (at least it wasn't in the pictures).

Just received an email from Candy, it's already been shipped! Less than 20 minutes, that's incredible!
Just got one about an hour ago as well. You have to think, their day is just starting over there. 9:15am right now.

Yea I know, it's still impressive to me though. Don't get that kind of turn around with stateside companies, usually shipped day after order it seems. Only had revzilla be that quick and that was only once or twice if I placed the order early enough in the day. Did not expect that from a China order through ebay

I've honestly never had to wait much longer than 2 weeks for anything to be delivered from China, and the price difference is always worth the wait. If they somehow manage to get their quality on par with top level items, U.S. based companies are doomed.  
Most of the time, there's small stuff wrong with Chinese parts though but it's almost always remedied by a little DIY project (with the exception of Chinese levers, never had a problem with them yet). I've had a couple things fully refunded because they didn't work the way they were advertised but that didn't stop me from fixing the problems and still using the parts.

Yeah, my wheel tape also says MT-07. Does'nt really bother me though.

I wanted the MT logo, but that one was almost $30. I can live without it for cheaper. Might end up doing some custom paint or design on it anyway.

I couldn't resist either for $21.99. Ordered yesterday on a Sunday. Got my confirmation very quickly after. Maybe it was Monday already in China.
 
Probably going to set my phone up behind it with my RAM mount if there's enough room.
 
I tried the MRA Double Bubble... looked intensely at all the other options too. Honestly I just love my bike & my women so much better when they're naked!  :D  So we'll see how this goes...

Pretty soon we'll be able to buy whole bikes from China for $25.99 with free shipping. Each one will be just slightly different and more appealing to different buyers, hahaha.

So does this thing deflect any wind at all?  or is it just for the looks?  
 
 

Most likely a small amount of wind, but it'll keep bugs off your cluster. I think it cleans up the front end a lot, that's why I wanted something to put there - I'm not really interested in deflecting any wind as it's not much of an issue for me.
