Kuryakyn Shift Peg Covers

I'm a bit tired of buying Kuryakyn products that either don't fit or break during installation. I bought this case for my 2010 Yamaha Raider. Although the Revain ad says it's a Raider, the box doesn't show the Raider, Stratoliner, or Roadliner as advertised. I read the instructions and tried to install anyway. After putting this thing on the bare switch pin, I tried tightening the tiny set screw that is supposed to keep the cover from moving over the pin, and guess what? The metal cage that contains the rubber insert is so cheap and flimsy that it broke the cage and rendered the entire unit unusable. I used to have good luck with Kuryakyn products, but only with two of the four products I bought. If I buy more Kuryakyn products, I have to rely on a recommendation from someone who has already bought them and thinks it's a good product. I spent almost $30 on this switch cover including shipping and I think it's a waste of money. Kuryakyn needs to get smart and make these motorcycle products tough enough to withstand the power of a big male biker. I would happily pay a little more for a quality product than a piece of junk. BTW, Revain ads say "cover," not cover. That means you get two of these for $22 instead of one. Kuryakin won't get my money anytime soon.
