Frustrating I'm sure, but you would not have wanted to ride it last weekend anyway!

It's going to pick up soon, keep looking forward to it and stay safe.

if you have a big budget and deep pockets then fit an Akrapovic,  alternatively Beowulf or Two Brothers are good...I'm sure other suggestions will be forthcoming...further thoughts check out SP Engineering,  I don't know if they can offer one but their quality is good       :smiley:

Scorpion can very well made looks and sounds great and IMHO the overall size is in correct proportion to the bike.

If it's the Kawasaki genuine protection, then it's a proper bitch to apply correctly...that said if the dealer has delivered it in a poor condition then it's down to them to fix ( like Rusty says)  :yes:

If the set they send is the Genuine Kawasaki Accessory, then I might be inclined to seek out an alternative, believe me the genuine items are horrible things to fit, which is probably why your dealer is sending you a set to fit yourself

Others on here have used different protection for their panniers with considerable success

Try these links  and good luck

There's another product which if my memory serves me correctly is called Plasti dip..

I had my bike done with the 3M venture shield kit 😉
You can buy it as a kit or get a professional to do it.
I took the 2nd route 😋
