Review: GBRacing Engine Cover Set

When was the last time you crashed? Not too recently I hope. The worst thing about crashing is not the crash, but actually the aftermath. Physical injuries aside, the best scenario would be one where you are still able to ride your motorcycle home or to the workshop. The worst scenario? Well, one where your motorcycle starts leaking fluids.

Like this R6.


To prevent this from happening to you, take a look at the few engine case protections out there in the market. I got myself a set of GBRacing engine covers. Why GBRacing? The reason is ridiculously simple. Because the Fédération Internationale de Motocyclisme (better known as the FIM) approves them. The FIM governs many motorcycle racing events such as MotoGP and the SBK. Enough said.

Well actually, I have more to say. If you're a track go-er, please, for the love of whatever higher being you pray to, install engine covers! If you crash on the track, and your engine fluids leaks onto the tarmac, trust me, nobody is going to want to be your friend.

A full set of engine covers from GBRacing costs only about SGD$320, and they come included with the bolts you would require. Installation is simple. Remove the required stock bolts from your engine case, install the GBRacing cover over it, and screw it tight with the supplied bolts.

Protection doesn't only have to be functional. It can be beautiful too.

Stop procrastinating and get yourself some engine case protection. You never know when is your next date with the tarmac. Spare a thought for other road or track users behind you, and prevent more accidents. Install engine case protection!

Oh and by the way, does anyone have a clue what this monstrous looking thing is?



I know the answer, but take a guess. The clue, it's a popular touring motorcycle.

Enjoy your weekend and ride safe.
