Default Which Engine Cover?

I wanna make my bike more crash worthy.

Woodcraft - Billet w/replaceable skid plate (does the skid plate actually hold up and can actually be replaced from a moderate slide?

Vortex - Billet.. don't know if it has some sort of replaceable skid plate.

NRC - Forged.. supposed to be less resistant to cracks than billet. From my experience, forged things tend to stress crack more easily than billet aluminum.

Those are the only 3 i know of that's available for my '04 R6. Anyone have any inputs on this?

Woodcraft looks bullet proof.

If you want something simple and clean the MDR's are nice.

Woodcraft and yes the sliders do hold up and are replaceable.

Crash tested in a high 2nd/3rd gear sweeper.

Will be on my bike when I get the $. Same price as the rest or cheaper; includes replaceable slider. Can't beat that.
