OK, I vented my spleen there.

Makers definitely need to use all the low-hanging fruit that's available. I'm sure all the items mentioned in the quote have good potential.

One thing I've noticed is semi-bogus oem front fairings or air dams. Many of them are so full of holes and pockets of various types that they don't help smooth the air flow as much as they could. They could be better.
