Verified OwnerAmazing piece of tech that gives me a lot of confidence in the bike to know that a plastic piece has been replaced with an attractive and much more functional metal piece.
A note:
It took a long while to find proper instructions on the install for the piece, which would have been nice to have included in the packaging. I would also recommend having an additional option at checkout to buy a small packet of Green Locktite or whatever recommended product you have for installation as that is a necessary piece for install.
