That and a hood would make for some SERIOUS weight reduction!

i know its probably easier to make it flat, but i think it would kinda look cool if it followed the sides up a little till it was flush with the top latch part. would kinda make the plate area different from the hatch itself.

There would never be enough people willing to pay for a company to produce the part. It would not be feasible.

Not on 855R's... well, I guess black ones, but It wouldn't look as good as the non R's with the black key/rear panel...
