Default What do you think of these?

Not sure about the right side one, looks to only have one bolt holding it...

those ebay ones I wouldnt trust for anything. especially not when the one side has 3 bolts and the other has only ONE holding it on, and appears that nothingg else holding it in place. I dont trust that at all.

Last time me and this bike hit the ground the stator case broke and of course it blew all the oil out in 2 seconds... good thing the tip over switch shut it down and I was only a few miles from home but chances are now that I no longer own a truck and have nearly no friends in a 4 state radius I will be royally fucked When that day comes again.

I need something of this sort that is going to hold up.

I Like the plastic slider aspect of these but fear the bolt over thing and ya, like I said above the one side isnt giving me that safe, warm and fuzzy feeling.

I am just gunna have to break down and flip for the real deal covers I guess...

But damn do I love a deal!

Yeah, the one bolt on one side is laughable. What the hell is that going to do except rip up your plastics?

I have to think that there's SOMETHING holding the other side on beyond that SINGLE bolt.
