[Rattler]

......I'm looking to get a strong clutch cover for the 996, I've strength tested a couple!!! and found that the carbon one I first tested was useless (no **** Sherlock!!) and the Casoli one was pretty good.

Anyone else had experience of good / bad ones?

How does the standard (double skinned) cover stand up in comparison?

I've presently got one of those Titanium STM jobs fitted - which I reckon won't stand much impact.

Tim,

This one arrived for my 999 from Tecmoto today. Can't fit it yet as MCN have still got the bike but the quality looks spot on and very strong. I would imagine that the 996 version would be just as good.

Tim JHP have one that is miles stronger that Tecmoto. More ribs to it. The one I had from Tecmoto done the job, but only just. I repaced it because I know that it won't take another fall.

Tim,

Another option might be a strengthened pressure plate.

It had raised sections that protect your spring posts

I'm sure there was a link to one (Felix???) from this site recently.

Seemed quite reasonable on price at the time too.

Looking at the clutch half-covers, I would have thought that these provide less protection as the bike is more likely to slide nose-first, and there ain't much protection at the front!

Surely in this case a ventilated full cover, like Everton showed above, would be better?

How about a titanium one?

[DJ Tera]

NCR make a full cover in titanium - daytona MCs in ruislip and islington sell a DP one out of titanium too

They do a DSC discount an' all!

I've "test driven" two Casoli ones - very good.

Ive got one of these Casoli covers on my 999.I have'nt crash tested it,but it seems to be a fairly solid bit of kit.

[Rattler]

....Guido - I've got a STM fitted, so a reinforced pressure plate can't help here....

I like the look of the TecMoto full cover over the Casoli one, so might opt for that.

Does anyone know how strong the standard ones are? I might use this, but it'll not allow much airflow, unless I space it out and it won't show the bloody expensive slipper!!!!
