Engine Case Sliders On My 2020 Speedy Rs

That’s crap. Totally warranted rant IMO.

 

Hi Abirnie, I would bin them if I was in your position, go for the Triumph ones I know they are more expensive but they are very good quality and cover the full casing, Evotech are also very good, although I am not sure they are readily available stateside.

 

Wow.. Wear and tear? Right.. How are they expecting anyone to trust those in a crash if the bleeding vibrations from the engine are enough to break them..

 

I hate to hear you had a bad experience with T-Rex. I had T-Rex frame protectors on my 2018 gsx-s1000 and really liked them. I will look elsewhere when I get ready to add protection to my 20 Speed RS.

Don't know your laws or right over there. But here it is unfit for purpose and you are entitled to a refund. That is even more as it is dangerous if it snapped so easily

I know im late to this post but couldn't help but notice that those sliders are nowhere near fit for purpose. Looking at the construction itself you can blatantly see that these have been 3D printed (look at the layer buildup on the edges, you can see the lines) and done so poorly. Id be querying the material used to do this as PLA if used is not suitable for this application and is quite brittle under vibration/impact. If ABS was used theres clearly been a fault with the manufacture. Most covers like yours are moulded plastic which is a completely different manufacturing process.

 

Off topic… Abirnie, which luggage have you got there? My Speedy looks exactly like yours (same colorway). I just got back from a nine day trip around the northwestern US and wanted something just like that.
