I wouldn`t have thought there would be much of a market for this product.

I would tend to agree. Notice that item is in Hungary, perhaps there is a market out there?

According to the description it is some 22kg lighter than the standard steel bonnet. Here's a thought - you could save the same weight by lightening fuel load by about 4.8 gallons!

Another thought, X-type bonnets hinge at the back so I think I would prefer a heavy bonnet just in case it wasn't locked down properly!
