XT600 Case savers/armor and skid plates
Hi,
does anyone know where or even if there are out there, case savers for the XT600, in my case a 2003 DJ02.
I have been looking for ages and found for TT's, for DR's and such, but nothing for the XT.
Specifically looking for:
Case saver (something like this)
And then the crank case and clutch cover case guards - the "glue on" type or similar....(something like this):
And the big question is:
- Is my quest really worth the bother?
I do moderate off-road and plan to do an African round trip sometime soon.
Are these bits of gear just gizmo or can they really avoid you getting stuck in the middle of nowhere in case a clutch, break lever or even a chain decides to pierce through your engine case?
Would like to hear wise opinions and suggestions, and even experience.
For example:
- how problable is it to happen
- is the extra weight worth it (as insignificant a it may be)
- do the case guards have any influence on engine heat and dissipation
- any hands on experience with holes in the covers
Cheers,
RN
