What the quality like?

Would you recommend one?

Appreciate all comments.

I must admit it looks really nice, especially with a gold clutch plate as in the photo...

Id go for a really well made billet one. God forbid you have an off on your clutch side that wont offer much protection

I thought that myself. Though I'll probably go for R&G protectors too.

It's just that I've not seen a billet one I've liked. I like the aluminum finish, it's just that the covers look a little 'heavy' not in weight, just in looks. If I could have a 'delicate' looking aluminium cover, I would probably go for that.:thumbsup:

Maybe we should have a clutch cover show...:spin:

its an odd one every time ive dropped bike with carbon cover on its been ok. admittedly its always been at low speed and i do have some fantasticaly long (hey ladies) crash bungs

how ever last time i dropped it i had original steel cover on and it got stoved in sumit chronic im impressed it saved the clutch

id have another carbon one for the road
but then use steel for a trackday

billet alu best of both worlds ?

You could always spray the bike to match the cable ties? ;)

Carbon wouldn't be much help in a prang. Even a billet cover would be hard pressed to save the clutch TBH, but a set of decent crash bungs like R&G or Cyclecat may even the odds.

These are nice...
