Why Upgrade to Aluminum Covers?
Stock plastic covers offer minimal protection and bland aesthetics. Aluminum upgrades provide triple benefits: superior impact protection for sensitive throttle position sensors and fuel injection components, enhanced heat dissipation to prevent sensor drift, and premium visual statement that transforms engine aesthetics from basic to bespoke.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe with microfiber cloth; use mild soap for stubborn grime
- Polished Areas: Apply metal polish 2-3 times yearly to maintain mirror finish
- Inspection: Check mounting bolts every 3,000 miles; retighten if needed
British Craftsmanship Guarantee
Designed and manufactured in the UK by Motone Customs, each cover undergoes multi-stage CNC machining and quality inspection. Backed by Motone’s reputation for precision engineering and authentic British motorcycle styling.
