Anyone making stronger motor covers yet? Cracked my stock one

Also all that beautifull cnc machined aluminium will get scratched so quickly it's not even funny .

It also looks black oxided and I'm afraid that such a surface treatment would be worn quickly even without accidents, because of the boot rubbing against the cover, especially if there is a foot operated rear brake.

On only my 2nd ride I damaged the side casing in a little 5mph tumble.
Ordered a replacement from Racetorx late on Sunday, it arrived today (Tuesday) and that's between Christmas and New year. Amazing service, thanks Racetorx

How much thicker is this ?

Question on the RACETORX cover. Can I just lay the bike on its side to change or do I need to drain it, to change it? Also anyone now the torque spec on those little bolts as well?

Is it thicker than stock? What are your overall impressions.

Yes, but I’m not sure how much thicker. Also, it’s made from 6061-T6 aluminum. I haven’t dropped the bike on the right side yet, so I can’t really tell how strong it actually is.

It will be stronger and stiffer. Nice CNC is very much into that. However if that leads to less damage is the question.
Forces might transfer to the rest of the way more expensive casing.

I stick to the OEM wich is quite affordable and life with any cracks etc. It's just one gear and very low oil level. That will life through riding back leaking.
