Default These are Fantastic and the Best?

ENGINE PROTECTION, FRAME SLIDERS, BOBBINS ETC
Hi all,

before I begin my ramblings I am in no way conected to the Plug Im going to give these products, I just believe in shouting about good things to others!

I recently was in need of some engine protection and after a bit of research decided that GB Racing covers would be worth a better look. the manufacturer is only about 40 mins from my house so I called and asked if I could pop in...

40 mins later I am stood at the door with a coffee in hand having a freindly chat to Graham Banks (Mr GB Racing himself)

I am given a factory tour, shown how the product is designed (which is meticulously engineered) and produced from the raw material see pic

and an hour later after Mr Graham Banks has personally fitted the covers I went away in total confidence that I had just obtained the BEST engine protection available AND its FIM approved !!

these guys were knowledgable, helpfull and understood the issues facing protection and rider needs, and a SNEAK NEWS item is that they are working on FRAME SLIDERS which are sleek small and very effective and will be a great benefit to avid track day freak and racers.

One of the Pics shows how tough the material is,,(nylon and Long glass strands mixed at temperature..a very simplistiic description)
the Engine cover is off the BSB Buildbase BMW S1000RR which was binned at Brands Hatch this season...

Honestly give these things a serious consideration if you want the BEST..

and nothing is too good for my babe

Well If Im going to reccommend someone I should at least do it properly,

attached is a pic of the covers about to fitted, and as you can see from the pic above the instructions supplied in each bag of products are clear and simple.

The Bolts the Sleeves used are of the highest quality and If Ive got GB Racing worked out ,,, I imagine the staples used in the bags will be the best too!

Thanks for the in depth review. I was trying to decide which engine protection to go with. Not sold on the R&G look, leaning toward the GB or Yosh. Besides Rider's Discount I know another vendor on this site, ANT Racing Motorsports, sells the GB. Guess I'll be placing my order this week with one of them.
