I for one did not have any problems with my Maier plastic and I did buy some extra bushings, screws and nut plates so when I switch back to the OEM, it's a piece of cake to swap them out. The bushings for the top headlight cover and the side gas tank, the nut plates are the ones on the gas tank and I also purchase the bushings that goes between the seat the plastic (big ones) and the ones that hold the tail light. Well worth the cost.
