I'm not sure why there are aftermarket front (V11) caliper covers over the carbs/injectors?

Yes, from the Silver Eagle accessory line, I had the billet steering head covers that matched that pattern. Coming soon to the swap meet.

This is the manufacturer.
I had a box of the stuff I stripped off the EV and almost gave it away.
Poorly thought out products. There was the front MC cover that didn't vent the back of the bellows to the atmosphere so it couldn't follow the brake fluid level down so it put a vacuum at the front MC.
There was the regulator cover that limited airflow to the regulator that needs air to disspate extra current as heat.
There were floorboard platforms that wouldn't allow a motorcycle boot under the shift lever so you had to cruise pigeon toed.
There were brake covers that required caliper unbolting just to inspect pad thickness.
I really dislike stuff that is made with no understanding of functionality or easy maintenance.
