As already mentioned, open covers do offer bettering cooling and allow the dust to blow out. I also decided to stay away from carbon and went with stainless for better protection. Cycle Cat makes good stuff and sells through 'On Cycle'.

The only drawback is noise, but only when you are sitting on the bike and allowing it to just tick over. Pull the clutch lever in, throttle on, and the noise abates. I don't even notice it anymore.
