R&G case covers
« on: October 03, 2014, 08:38:14 am »
Has anyone installed a set of these yet on a 2014 690? I am getting binding of the brake pedal. R&G tec guy says they have many installed with no problems. I had a small crash that bent my brake pedal.. could that have bent the frame where the brake pedal mounts?

Hey Rocketboy,

Those covers look great.  I can't vouch for their durability, but I love the increased coverage (especially on the left side).



I have the Adventure Spec case covers.  While the right side cover seems adequate, the left leaves much of the case exposed:



If I had to do it over, I would definitely consider R&G.

I got the R&G covers installed today. Left side went on no problem but the right side I had to trim off a small piece by the brake pedal so it wouldn't bind. The covers look good & provide a lot more coverage then any others I've seen for the 690. Not sure how tough they are but I will find out I'm sure. Katy has terrible balance & is always falling down!

Make a free photobucket account.  From there you can upload your photos and the entire use img code to insert them into your post.  Photobucket makes it as easy as copying and pasting the code into your post.
