Dude - work a group buy on that! My clutch cover is so gouged a slight tip over is gonna bust it. I'd definitely be down for that if you could score a deal.

Nice looking and could definitely come in handy. What are they using to attach the covers? epoxy? or..?

Daz, says a group buy is in the works as soon as they straighten out the cover details !

4. The adhesive forms part of the armour system. As such we do not recommend using anything else.

NEVER EVER USE AN EPOXY OR HARD SETTING ADHESIVE FOR ATTACHING ENGINE ARMOUR
Doing so completely eliminates the benefits of the cover.

The adhesive in the fitting kit is a marine adhesive designed to be water and fuel proof once it dries. It also dries to a rubber like filler. This final layer has 3 functions:

1. It glues the cover on!
2. It acts like a shock absorber in an impact. Absorbing energy from the armour and spreading it over the cover.
3. It allows the armour to flex on impact. This is fundamental to the armour ABSORBING as much impact energy as possible. The more it can absorb the less gets transmitted to the engine casing underneath.

You have to glue them on? I figured they would have bolted on overtop of the existing over.

echomadman · « **Reply #12 on:** August 02, 2005, 03:01:08 PM »

as the site says the glue acts as an additional shock absorber, if they were just bolted around the edges they'd probably rip off on impact

i was looking at these for the SV as i know a guy who has them on his gsx1400 and they look sweet, he had an off and the case covers and frame sliders saves him from a very expensive repair bill, all he has to replace was his handlebars and one mirror after the bike had slid down the road.
