R&G or GB racing engine case covers?

OK so I've searched the forum and this has cropped up a couple of times but I want fresh info on this.

So R&G or GB racing covers?? Most of my riding is on the road but have a few track days lined up this year so just want to take a couple of precautions. Not bothering with crash bobbins in favour of some aftermarket fairings......discuss.

 

I personally prefer the look of the GB racing.

Have no idea which ones would perform best.

 

I've got the GB covers, can't fault them. In fact I think someone's selling some on here?!?

 

sssshhhh! I've just messaged him about these

 

Quick Lozzy who is it???

 

I can't remember....

I think he's got an e comfort seat too.....now that's definitely worth the money Your butt will feel like it's been stroked by angels

 

Well, I hope there's some damn big angels comin' at me! But don't ask Bradt to send them!!

 

Erm ........we appear to have gone 'off on a tangent' again

 

If ya going for the gb's..which i did ,remember to use the longer bolts provided. .i forgot,used original ones and nearly stripped my engine bolt threads....div

 

GB Racing mate. Highsided at 75 mph with gb racing covers fitted on my bike. Did not eat through the cover. Used some wet sanding paper and resprayed it black, all good.

No experience with R&G covers.

 

Thanks, do you have the standard ones or the 'race' ones?? And what is the actual difference??

 

There seem to be so many different shapes when i just googled it mate, so i am not quite sure.

But i have these: https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/gb-racing-engine-cover-set-honda-cbr1000rr-2008-2015

I don't think these are "race", but they held up very well. Protected my engine at high speed crash.

On this listing you can see two versions of the stator cover. Not sure what is "best". http://www.ebay.ie/itm/GBRacing-Alt...r-for-Honda-CBR1000RR-Fireblade-/351724799482

 

GB protectors stood up well to both an off & a heavy drop on mine...just a couple of tiny holes & scuffing. Thoroughly recommend them

 

I can't tell the difference between the race set and the standard either, think I'll go for the standard ones!

Thanks for venturing into the garage and taking the pics Lozzy! (Unless they're old pic's)

 

I have the T-Rex covers and frame sliders fitted on my bike.

They look really nice and are vented so its suits the hot climate in the middle east.. Works well, only downside i would say is they are a bit heavier than the GB racing and R&G ones so not the best if you trying to keep the bike as light as possible.

Worth looking at tho

OK so I've decided to go for the GB racing covers, but there seems to be two different styles of cover for the stator.....one has a fourth extra fixing point and one has three fixing points??

I think I'll be buying them direct from GB racing rather than ebay as well.

 

Looks like the four point one is the genuine one looking at the gb site

 

I see what your saying Lozzy but the 3 point fixing stator case is also on GB website so I don't think it's a case of it not being genuine......it does however say it's for 2012 onwards, where as the eBay one says 2008 to 2011 ?? Confused.com

 

I've found this on the gb site....maybe one is for stock & the other race or kit?



Also on the stock bike you fix the plate & then replace the plastic Honda cover over the top but I presume with a race kit the plate remains showing?!?

 

.........and so it becomes clear, I did question what the difference between race and standard was at the start of this thread but drew a blank. It was the year of fitment that was confusing as well. I do get myself in a state over these things haha!

Thank you wise old owl
