XT600E engine case saver EXISTS! sorta..

Hi all!

To anyone interested I've jut found this online:



It's and engine case saver for a Yamaha RAPTOR 660 and I would bet it is a bolt on option for our dearly XT's!

If it ain't a bolt on... at least it's the best "template" one out there for a custom one!

direct link for shop is:

That doesnt look really useful to me. in a bit here when I start fabbing up my skidplate, I'm having my friend build me some engine case guards most likely. I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking to build but if there is any interest for the X600, I'll fab up a few sets for a price.

Ok.. Here is another one!


For a Raptor 660 aswell!

Personally I'd get one of these made or bought instead of that first link I posted!

disregard my previous post. I was thinking thse were for the front of he engine for some reason. these actually look worthwhile. chains through the case are usually quite nasty. I was lucky on my last motorcycle to have a sprocket cover that also protected the case well enough considering how my chain came off. it wasnt pretty, but could have been 10000% worse.

something like this is absolutely worth investing in.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive.
