Anyone aware of a reasonably priced Acerbis front brake cover for 2003 KLR 650?

The DRZ350 cover by Acerbis is an easy adaptation, and cheap at about $35. Here is a link host by Mark t Hilaire. http://klr6500.tripod.com/acerbisdisk.htm Real KLR disk/fork protectors do come up on ebay occassionally but these end up being very pricey, usually about $50 for a used set. good luck, MarkB

Mark, thanks for the bit o' advice on the disk and fork covers. Nice website too--very informative. Ebay is nice, but not always the right price!

Could'nt or Would'nt ? I am sure they can be turned, but is there enough stock left, or are they marked to spec for minimum thickness ? Nobody respectable would do such a thing as turn them without knowing, the liability would huge. In this "sue-happy" country, is it worth the chance ? Dooden A15 Green Ape When McDonalds gets sued and had to pay somebody for getting burned by "Hot Coffee" (when its marked on the lids Hot) Wish judges could reverse stupid cases like this, and make the person sueing pay whoever they are sueing the amount they want, when its determined to be a stupid case. Maybe it would free up the legal system from the burden it has of this stupid crap.
