Author Message   Betzy Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 01:49 pm:        Does any one know if they make a track version of these, with thicker sliders or aluminum guards? Figure if I plan to go down it'll never happen...   Fresnobuell Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 01:56 pm:        Taylor made racing makes carbon fiber engine covers. They are pricey, but less than half the cost of a new cover, plus they look cool IMO. I am probably going to order a set...if they ever get back from Labor Day break. I think they are a more protective option than just a bigger button on the clutch side...albeit much more expensive too.   Slaughter Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 02:27 pm:        Yep on the Taylor Made covers. You mean to ask about a clutch or clutch cover? Buell Racing does make a racing slipper but I'd tend to recommend waiting until the stock slipper wasn't working well enough with heavy weight transfer to the front in hard braking. www.buell.com/en_us/_media/pdfs/gear/BuellRetailCa talog_en_US.pdf (Page 5) Because it does NOT affect emissions, you CAN order it through your dealer.

I am looking for covers on both sides.   1_mike Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 03:12 pm:        Got a set on my CR. Very nice construction, excellent fit. Just seal the open edges with epoxy to keep the moisture out so the layers don't separate over time. I'm hoping to NOT....find out how well they actually work though...! Mike   Duggram Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 04:24 pm:        Steve, At what point in the life of my clutch/slipper is it supposed to stop working? I can get a really good case of the wiggles now if I get too aggressive downshifting.   Fresnobuell Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 05:02 pm:        Mike, do you know if they make a Rev. A clutch cover? YOu have the Rev. B right?   Betzy Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 06:41 pm:        Actually looking for clutch cover not clutch, engine cover on left side too. thks   Betzy Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 06:48 pm:        Just talked to Taylormade they are sending photo of these, post it as soon as i get it...   Fresnobuell Posted on Wednesday, September 09, 2009 - 07:05 pm:        TM only offering covers that fit Ver. B clutch cover. Sucks, but understandable. Will be in stock on the Tues, Sept 15th. Hello Grandstand designs! (Message edited by fresnobuell on September 09, 2009)   Betzy Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 06:50 pm:        Here they are, Ok What do you mean VerA or B?? Is this different for the 2009?   Fresnobuell Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 07:35 pm:        If you have an '09 or '10, you are cool. Us that have the early '08s are not going to fit the clutch side cover. IIRC, they switched to the Rev. B cover during the latter part of the '08 MY?   Duggram Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 09:05 pm:        I have a July '08 R. How can I tell which cover I need? Can I upgrade to a Rev B? I low sided and scraped mine up pretty good.   White79bu Posted on Thursday, September 10, 2009 - 09:27 pm:        I have seen people shave the covers to fit the A cover. But I don't remember what all the guy did.   Betzy Posted on Sunday, September 13, 2009 - 03:16 pm:        Hey Fresnobuell, So cant use TM ones for our 2008's. Will the Grandstand designs pucks fit on ours, they come in a kit for left and right? As i understand they are more or less friction fit with slight mallet tap to get on??? thks   Smoke Posted on Monday, September 14, 2009 - 07:00 am:        i put those covers on my 08 track bike along with the GSD aluminum pucks. tight fit on the clutch side and had to open the mounting holes just a touch for the covers. send me a pm or email tim @ arrowaviationco. com tim   Oldmanriver Posted on Wednesday, September 23, 2009 - 05:47 pm:        Smoke, or anyone else who might know, I have the same ?'s as Betzy. Will the Grandstand designs pucks fit an '09(b version) and are they sold as a pair? I tried contacting them but have heard nothing back yet after a couple of days. Scott   Jpinkerton Posted on Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 07:26 pm:        I have the same exact question as Oldmanriver, so I need to bump this post back up to the top. Do the Grandstand designs pucks fit the rev b clutch cover? I need only the puck, but I really do not want to pay $165 for a replacement that is purely cosmetic.   Froggy Posted on Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 07:54 pm:        The GSD clutch cover puck does not fit the second revision covers.   Jpinkerton Posted on Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 10:58 pm:        Thank you for the quick response! I guess I will just have to come up with some sort of other alternative.   Froggy Posted on Sunday, March 21, 2010 - 11:31 pm:        http://www.ebracing.com/shop/product53.html Badweb sponsor Dark Horse Moto has(had?) a cover guard in the works too, no ETA on that yet. The OEM piece is expensive because its a solid block of aluminum. The older covers had a smaller puck, it was plastic and cheap to replace, but didn't protect as good.
