What alternator / crankshaft covers are there?

[Raux]

I got one. Will be going on the bike soon. It is extremely light and it doesn't have Ducati on it. 

how does that compare to the Magnesium?

I'm sure the mag one is lighter. I don't like the mag brown though.

the coating is actually a paintable protectant for the very corrosive mag.

I have seen posts from proud owners of blinged-out polished magnesium...      and other posts from frustrated owners wondering why their magnesium bits have turned into white powder and a pitted mess.  Aluminum is a nice compromise.

It still won't make up for ugly. 

[Raux]

what do you suggest?

[junior varsity]

kopfjager insists you paint them purple. it will be very unique.

[Raux]

hmm.
maybe black or silver. or maybe i'll find someone to trade.
one mag alt cover for 2 billet side cases --alt side and dry clutch side

[ungeheuer]

Yep. A little more robust than the stock unit, lighter, and better looking. A nice match to the other side's:

Speedymoto version:


BCM's Version:


I want this for the left side!

Beautiful piece of work.... cant wait to see it a pic of one fitted. The Evil One is whispering to me about a black anodised one......  So far my resistance is holding up pretty well

I need to find out where you shop.  Speedymoto lists it at US$579.95 >> http://www.speedymoto.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=01-0200CLR&Category_Code=

I shop with our vendors here, sponsoring the board.

I try to shop locally more now, at AMS, when I can, but the dealership stocks very few non-Ducati or DP parts (they do stock EVR), so online I goes. As an example, you might look to DesmoWorks - Anthony was clearing out of their stock of SpeedyMoto parts, including some side cases, and also Motowheels members' discounts.

Of course we all shop with our sponsoring vendors  I just handed Anthony yet another large wad of $$ via commonwealth motorcycles..... but I missed the speedymoto clearance over at desmoworks....
