[QUOTE="pkley, post: 125444, member: 24057"] Love the bike, but one complaint. There is NO case protection! And as I just found out, it is outrageously expensive to replace a case cover. Day one of my ride (in the middle of nowhere...) highside layover and cut the radiator hose at the nipple. Taped until back to camp, cut and reclamped. No problem. Day 2, having a blast in a semiflooded meadow, hit a log on a slight diagonal, 2nd gear (YES I know better!) took the bike out from under me, flew about 20', came up ok, but bike found a lovely rock, took a chunk out of the clutch cover. Can we say, end of riding for that trip? Got back to town a few days later and called my shop for a new cover. "You have to purchase both sides at the same time, and it'll be about $500!" What!!!! $500!!! Ah the wonders of lightweight magnesium! So now, I have to find an aluminum one, since there is no way I'm shelling out $500 on a brand new bike (150mi). My real question is, why is there no protection for such a vulnerable spot? Especially when a replacement is outrageously expensive? So learn from me and buy a skid plate NOW! P.S. if anyone knows where I can buy a replacement for under $500 I would greatly appreciate it... Peter [/QUOTE]
