I've received and installed them today, the 450 usd sale.
They fit perfectly, and they considered protecting the roundel screws with rubber bands.
I added electrical tape on the outside relief band to add some protection.
I shouldn't have any dent I hope.

The lower cylinder protection isn't made out off rubber as I thought before, but is a hard plastic element.

I Like the look, which tempers the shinning chrome of the OEM cover and also the matching roundels with those on the tank.

That slate gun metal color, compliments the color of your engine cover - looks good
 
I see you have engine guards as well. Would be interesting to see the difference on a “tip over” test if you can do it on a safe surface.
 
I'll test that it could be interesting.
I rode the bike this afternoon and, looking closely to it, I'm not sure the engine guards are still wider than the cylinder cover guards.
We need to be 3 at least to try it safely.
