Standard engine covers are nice and light weight but break very easily when you fall off. If you're lucky you'll only have to walk home after breaking the cover and pouring oil all over the road. If you're not, you'll fill the engine full of gravel and have to strip the lot to remove it, or worse still, damage the crankshaft. Fit some heavy-duty NRC aluminium engine covers before you fall off and you probably won't have to do either.
Niagara Race Crafters - NRC
Niagara Race Crafters or NRC is the worlds largest producer of heavy duty superbike engine covers, with more than twenty years experience in engine cover design and production. They have committed hundreds of thousands of dollars in design, investment moulds, tooling and state of the art CNC equipment to produce the finest heavy duty engine covers possible! They are produced to ISO 9002 quality control standards and are finished in a natural silver grey alloy with the NRC logo cast into the cover. These covers have been hugely popular in the US and Canada for many years and are the most popular covers in the UK.
For track days and race use they are essential. The standard covers just aren't up to the job. One of our World Endurance riders, did the decent thing as a tester and threw our GSXR1000 down the track whilst pinned in top gear at the Nurburgring in Germany! That's at least 160MPH! The NRC casings were sound and the bike was back out in 25 minutes, albeit with another rider! Ouch!
NRC Quality
In recent times, cheaper competitive products have appeared which instead of producing a proper aluminium cover just fit a cheap plastic bolt on to the outside of the OE cover.
It is in the nature of some, to try to economise and make something a little bit cheaper and a little bit poorer but very rarely are such products also a little bit better.
How much resistance do you really think that a 3 or 4mm piece plastic will put up against a fully fuelled motorcycle weighing up to 200KG and crashing at 150MPH?
We sell many NRC aluminium coves to riders after they have destroyed the cheap plastic covers in a relatively low speed crash. Did those riders save money? We don't think so!
NRC covers are stronger, last longer, do not reduce ground clearance and are Race Proven by hundreds of thousands of riders all around the world.
We therefore remain confident of both the overall economy and design benefits of NRC aluminium covers.
