yes mate, mine are the exact same as Twins. he had mine made for me

you dont have to use the recess plates tho, the other pins can sit on top of the bonnet if you wish

but for the recess plates, and the aero catches above you do need to cut out a section of your bonnet for them to fit.

im quite suprised really, bonnets dont just have a habit of flipping up randomly!!

the way Daves (Twins) is done is a bit of work, but its not hard.

i did mine a few days ago, just have to make sure you line everything up perfectly before you commit yourself with the cutting tool.
