American Sport Bike has a few to choose from. I also saw some PSR units on eBay. So what are you guys liking? Aluminum? Delrin? Combo? Anyone care to confirm that the PSR el cheapos on eBay actually fit the 1125r? Thanks in advance : )

I have a set of the Premium all Aluminum ones from DHM.
They are the same ones Al sells now at American Sport Bike.

I use the derlin spooled ones formerly made by Darkhorse (DHM) on all my bikes. They work great, I crash tested all 4 corners in one crash on my XB : )




Edit: Rash on the bottom of that fork was from a previous incident without sliders equipped.

I have the black ones, Delrin? not sure. But while I've never tested them I can say fit and finish are top notch. Kevin at dhm and Al at asb are awesome to deal with.

I went for the Delrin ones from American Sport Bike. I can get front and rear for about the price of the aluminum delrin rear. The aluminum ones look very nice, but play money is tight.

I got the black DHM ones from A S B as well ... Perfect fit. One of the few times that I actually preferred the looks of the cheaper option, so that a bonus!

I've slid on mine a couple of times now.
A few minutes on the lathe and they are like new again, albeit a bit shorter.

Any way you go, it's a good idea.

Avalaugh - I had a cover JUST like that.
Sent it to someone for their track bike... I forget who.
Bought a RevB cover, then got a new RevB cover in the warranty clutch dribble fix.
The touch-up paint for the engine is a perfect match.

The Delrin from American Sportbike are the way to go. Simple to install and easy to remove for wheel changes.

Picking up bike today, new cover fitted under warranty as it was leaking from bleed nipple anyway : )

That seems to be pretty common. I see residue from the nipple on mine too. Maybe she's lactating...
