Aquatic on ADV rider post, http://advrider.com/forums/showpost.php?p=23379483&postcount=2, is making an aluminum case saver. He just sent them to anodizing. He is welling to ship from Australia. There are photos in the link for prototype and finished before anodizing.
That is quite a nice piece. After seeing Hansi's post over in this thread: Pottering around... I'm tempted to do something similar to his. That billet one is nice, but that price has me puckering a bit. And it's not something that more volume is going to bring the price down on, that's a lot of machining, so it's actually really a good deal, but I'm not fancy enough to need that kind of bling.
I really wanted one of the aquatic ones but I am trying to save enough for a GPR steering stabilizer instead. I just modified the plastic cover.
I understand the price is intimidating, but I bought mine not for the bling factor, but more for protection from a derailed or broken chain. To me $117 US is cheap compared to a case half.
Completely, agree. It's a smart investment, and that looks really well designed. It looks like you can go quite large on the front sprocket and still have plenty of mud clearance. My list is getting long before my trip though. For me a guard made of aluminum plate and spacers should give sufficient protection while sticking on a budget.
This is the Scheffelmeier Metall version. A bit more heavy duty than some others I have seen, great service from Stephan. http://www.bashplates.de/Husqvarna-...ase-saver-Husqvarna-Terra-Strada-650::99.html
More CNC Art Aquatic's version of the case saver, (link via Baddrapp's post, at the top.) 5 red, 3 clear, 8 blue but mostly black, all bound for the States! A very pleasant and obliging bloke m8 Priced to compete Pick a colour! Nice
I bought one too, in Gunmetal grey. I can't believe the weight. It might even be lighter than the original plastic guard.
Just got mine. Wow! Top notch. Hope it fits. Figured black was the go considering it's filthiness of a location. Rear view.
Hi guys I thought I would join up here to say thank you for the support. And thanks to Badrapp for spreading the word. At a request from one of your kin What say you?
