I have seen poor fitting e-racings, especially on the gixxers, I wouldn't get e-racings for gixxers and I think ontwo would agree with me on that. Mine are very light, but I agree on the flex. Flex of these is very poor, but since they fit properly, I don't have to flex them much. I would get these again in a heartbeat though. I am very happy with the quality they were after getting them painted, not so much anymore cause I gave them a good beating. I will probably have em repainted in the offseason after I patched them up and clayed the scratches though.

I gotcha... and yes flex is important for fitment... but I meant flex in a crash situation.

If they can't flex well and you hit hard, they'll just fuckin' crack. I'm surprised yours didn't crack when you highsided...? Or did the bike not hit that hard?

My took a fucking beating on impact and then slid for fucking ever with me laying on it. It burned away the fiberglass on the part that was laying on the ground, but never cracked. Held fine.
