I actually like the bare side (full, no cutout at all) the most.

Oh, quite the opposite! When I first debuted the concept in one of our initial team meetings what you requested was a feature that many members wanted to see. It's definitely something I've been experimenting with, as nothing has been finalized at all at this point. When I put it into CAD earlier I saw some things that I liked, and some things I would change. That gave me more ideas, which is exactly what I want.

So, as always, we appreciate it!

Absolutely right, we do it on our Master Cylinder Brace, and the cost is not significant.

Am I even close?

I have reread this thread and I realise my post may have been not that friendly. Getting emotional content into forum posts is a challenge. I was quite jovial and flippant when I wrote that. My apologies if it looked a bit harsh.

FFS!! Look at the size of that logo on the window!! How much did that add to the cost? How about the increase in weight? And it's back to front for the people already inside!!

*sigh* There is no hope.
