As someone who bought a DP cap for his 800 I can say that whatever you buy, don't buy anything other than a quick release cap. A screw cap is a pain in the arse.

Sir would like DSC'ers to stop putting piccys of nice things on here, my wallet can't stand it much longer, I feel I should seek professional help.

Personally i think the Ducati Carbon one looks best, but is expensive :-(

I have the DP one in the picture fitted to my 999S. It is pricey but is well made and does look so much better than the star treck looking thing that was there before. As for problems with people messing with it, I have experienced none since fitting it last year. I have to say though that the bike hardly ever gets left anywhere where it is exposed to touchers and the like as It is rare for me to leave it anywhere where I am not around.
