I have been looking for a while, for a Carbon Fibre, or like, external engine protector, that fits over the top of the left hand side of the engine, or more specifically, the Generator Rotor cover...which is extremely vulnerable to damage in an accident, even with frame sliders on the bike...i know, cause i have trashed 2 of these rotor cover's already.
My FZ6 Cup bike came with an Australian made CF engine cover on it (a requirement for racing in Australia), which got trashed in a highside accident at the track!
but it did save the rotor cover underneath..so it did it's job!
But since then, i have been looking for a suitable replacement optioon, that maybe a bnit sturdier than the cheapish looking one that came on the FZ6 Cup bike...
Well i found it!!!
All the way from Germany, from a company called Carbonadi....
It was not expensive...in fact it was only $52 AU!!!
The quality is excellent, being made from extreme abrasion resistant CF. The cover consisting of 4 different fibers and two different resin systems. The core of the protective cover is an extremely tear-and abrasion-resistant, 340g pure Kevlar fabric (weave, with absolutely no twill or canvas) The thickness is 5mm.
Was a cinch to put on the bike....just need some decent double sided tape, that is heat resistant...readily available at most auto accesory outlet stores...
The finished job looks great, and gives my engine a lot of extra protection, and considering that the OEM Rotor cover is over $200 to buy from Yamaha...my $50 investment is well worth it!!!
for those interested in purchasing the same item...
