Hi guys.

I am looking for something to protect the engine itself via some covers. I found R&G Covers which are nice, but i am looking at some alternatives. I eventually found some covers on aliexpress, which don't look so bad and they are not that expensive (around 90 EUR).

I Want to know, what you guys think about this China-made "cheap" covers. Thanks.

Someone who bought them also posted a picture of what they look like on the bike.

Liked the look of these at first, but when you see the close up of inner surface on the link, there's far too much leverage placed on the mounting bolts by the aluminium arms - the arms are quite thick, although only aluminium, I would be very surprised if the bolts didn't shear off flush to the case in a crash, potentially writing off the engine (extracting flush or recessed steel studs from an alloy block is extremely difficult even with all the tools).
