Yes I will probably use the stock cubby most of the time, it’s a 30 second swap. When on a long ride will be nice to have water bottle handy. Was going to just scotch Brite the black to get the shine off (just didn’t look right shiny black) with all of the other surfaces matte black. Had some matte black vinyl left over from another and thought I’d give it a try. In my opinion that’s the finish that should come on these.
