Exactly the same!! Was beating my head over it because it’s on the bottom of the pipe so not easily visible from the top of the engine. Was about to start replacing OE parts and chasing down the rabbit hole.
My recommendation is to add some Alcantara if not 100%. It is such a posh feeling to have, and at this price even if it starts shining due to skin grease then you simply try a new one.
I thought about the stripe at the top but my ocd would drive me crazy if it was uneven by even a millimeter. ?
Here are some close ups of the install. It’s “good enough” for my first time. When it’s time to replace (because I get bored easily), the second install will be much cleaner as I’ve learned from the first one. Again, ten fold better than the shiny greasy looking shit it came with from the...

Nope. I’m in an XLT, with cheap plastic wheel. The new cover is 100% coverage. Left and right perforated leather is part of the new cover and top/bottom is alcantara. Stitching is new too. 100% wrap around. Check out their website. It does NOT make the grip too fat. About ~1mm increase. On mine...
