Starter Cover Protectors (lower price)
I have 9 of them. $45 shipped.
These will come with all mounting hardware (1 nut and bolt ) The other bolt is the lower engine mount bolt through the cradles. These were designed more with the racer in mind as it will protect the required heavy duty starter cover from damage for a few crashes. They fit under fairings. There might be enough flex on a decent impact to hit a regular cover and crack it. I'm not positive though. A tip over you'd be fine. I beat on one with a hammer and it barely moved. My guess is the stock starter cover will fare much better than without the cover. It would at least be easily repairable if it did crack. I have no way of testing them though.
Some of them have more clearance from the cover than others. Just some small warpage from the welding process. If you want to use it on a regular cover I can send one that is farther from the cover.

Re: Starter Cover Protectors
That is some beefy material you have there. Looks like some serious protection.

Re: Starter Cover Protectors
So, just curious...No interest in these? Price too high? Everyone has unbreakable starter covers? Too ugly? Just trying to figure out the market.

Re: Starter Cover Protectors (lower price)
I'm a little strapped for cash right now. But, I would be interested in buying one...maybe mid-late July. Once/if I get my bike fully fixed...

Re: Starter Cover Protectors (lower price)
And bumping again. Make it so you don't have to fix/buy a new your starter cover!

Re: Starter Cover Protectors (lower price)
Still not sure why these aren't selling. I can't go any lower and they fit behind fairings. Come on people, I try and help out the community but the community has to be responsive about it. This solves the age old problem of cracked starter covers.

Re: Starter Cover Protectors (lower price)
Still have these. Those that want to protect their starter covers should really look into this.

Re: Starter Cover Protectors (lower price)
Still available. Slips under fairings nice and easy.
