THE GRIM RIPPER Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Come to think of it.... I have never seen a tusk case saver? Are they billet or that Delron that TM Design works uses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Jackson Posted February 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 they are billet 6061 with stainless bolts, $25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THE GRIM RIPPER Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 they are billet 6061 with stainless bolts, $25 Buy it.... What the fuck right? Its a case saver, if it works right your hoping IT gets destroyed, not your case. No sense in spending anymore than $25 for a piece like that, especially when its made outta the same shit the rest are made out of. I think I spent like $45 on my DG one... :: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THE GRIM RIPPER Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Why no go on the billet Loco? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
locogato11283 Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Why no go on the billet Loco? billet case savers have a tendency to go ahead and break your cases once the chain snaps or whatever. plastic is more absorbent than metal. the plastic will soak up more of the shock. the billet will just transfer it.

BlntdEyez Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Because the billet ones wont absorb the impact from the chain, Like the plastics ones do. They just transfer the force into the cases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lokisbuddy Posted February 13, 2009 Report Share Posted February 13, 2009 Can I wait on my tm case saver? I dont have the cash for one right now, How often do chains break/come off? Keep in mind I am riding a stock bike with pro circuit platinums and pod filters Oh and I have some hinson stickers too. :biggrin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I could see that.... But my thinking is the shitty little 1/4 thread (if that) bolts that secure it to the case, would break before the case. But the delron ones are def. a good way to go all things considered Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
