Casoli vs DP vs Rizoma

Any real difference or is it just cosmetic?

I'm sort of favouring the DP as it seems cheaper than the Casoli ....

Any useful info would be appreciated

Thanks

You forgot Cyclecat and STM

The Cyclecat one claims to protect the posts in the event that the right side hits the ground and the STM one comes with covers to hide the manky looking springs. Go for the DP if it's cheaper...

or one of these
a mate of mine spotted then at Laguna Seca and I may just be tempted to start bringing them over here

Nelly thats one nice pressure plate,

How much are they likely to cost?

[nelly]

about £145 Lee. That's the X factor as to whether I decide to start bringing them over.
They do covers to. They are bomb proof!! Minimum 4mm thick everywhere.
The REAL trick parts are billet water pumps. 10% flow/cooling improvement and also act as a "protector" for the lhs cover should the bike go down.

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! How much would they cost Nelly?

[Lee1980]

Would buy one for that price from you next year after xmas and maybe the covers to if they are nice to, or will get a new style Dp one.

Want a decent cover and plate for the looks as well as protection after mine broke a post after a 20 mph drop on the right.

[nelly]

The pumps?.........about £250.

here's a piccie

[Lee1980]

That pump looks gorgeous Nelly shame to cover it up on a 748/9** look good on a S4R

Price is high but looks like it would offer protection to

[nelly]

Here's one of the covers fitted to the bike with the pressure plate to.
I haven't seen a more solid setup from anyone. If the clutch got damaged with those fitted, I guess the rest of the bike would be in a pretty dire state...........
