Thanks Sandman Parts for the case saver!

Great kit and it even included 2 jolly ranchers!! hahahaha Love it, fit and finish is great!

Looks great! Glad you are happy with it!

Received my new case saver and guard today. I spent more time unpacking the parts (and deciding which jolly rancher to eat first) than what I did installing the parts. SO, you think you don't need one of these



After 5300 miles







The so called saver (plastic) is grooved from the chain (tight fit)
Just sayin

looks good.

What a mess huh? I was actually more surprised to see the sound deadning still in your cover! I think mine fell off after the first time I took the cover off and washed it out!

Thanks for posting the pics!

oops just posted on Sandman's Vendor thread abt getting my case saver and cover...

anyway...thks again Ivan!

Do any of you guys or gals out loctite 243 on the threads during installation?

I'd also like to thank Ivan for being nice guy in general. I was so impressed by the powdercoat on the case saver, I asked him for some advice which he gave freely. I now have a sandblaster, powder coating gun and oven. It's fantastic. I've done a kickstand, a muffler (high-temp flat black) and a bunch of various brackets. Thanks.

Want to join in saying thanks Ivan, great service processing and shipping the case saver outside USA within 1 day. I am very much impressed and looking forward to your genuine chain guard. A great item, considering the damage a chain can do when leaving its place.

When chain fell off yesterday at my Tenere, it destroyed chainwheel (displayed at the left side, it was still in perfect condition in the morning and now its teeth are shaved off) and cush drive unit (already with new chainwheel), also swing arm:

However, I was extremely lucky it did no harm to sprocket and engine case (there is a little chain guard there, which may have saved me).
In fact, protecting things against chain impact and using chain guards front and rear is the perfect idea when riding enduro style bikes with considerable rear travel.

Once more, thanks to sandman parts for phantastic international service, quick and cheap shipping and a great product for the WR.
I really wish we had this kind of shop over here as well, but there is none.
Regards, Phil

Looks great (and nicely priced) I'll be ordering one of these too.

I got my jolly ranchers today! I will be installing my case saver and the guard tomorrow .. very nice product

Got my case saver. The product & packaging are second to none; way better most than aftermarket products. There are some "other" purley aesthetic guards that don't even serve the main purpose--to protect the case from the chain! This guard does that & looks good!

I am jumping on board too...got my case save in today and had it installed 5 minutes later. Great product and great customer service. I got the two candies too...who does that...just awesome.

I used to make/machine some small parts for the SV's(Suzuki)..and thought I did a pretty good job of packaging and shipping. Ivan had each piece in heat sealed bubble wrap pillows. Outstanding.

Hey Ivan I think I had a part inspiring the "indexable" shifter for gen 2. In payment I would like you to make another run of the Acerbis disc guard adapters :) How's it going with that?

I have another 24 ready to ship of the acerbis adapters, been pretty busy at work and have not had the time to update any info, my apologies!

Thanks to all for the kind words and support!

Ordered my case saver kit tonight !!!!!!
I'm also going to order the Zeta Z-Carbon drive cover to go along with it as well.

Thanks Ivan, Great solution, quality parts.

I couldn’t believe how much mud was still trapped inside the stock cover. There was no way to clean it out without removing the cover after every muddy ride. My chain was sliding around the path of dried mud and sand.

Another happy customer!

I opened my box (which arrived in three days) and popped the first Jolly Rancher (Raspberry Lemonade) in my mouth as soon as it fell out of the box.
I then:

• Unwrapped the parts.
  
• Opened the shop door.
  
• Backed bike out.
  
• Pushed bike back in to the work area.
  
• Put bike on the lift.
  
• Removed stock sprocket cover.
  
• Test fitted the Sandman case saver & sprocket cover.
  
• Removed Sandman parts.
  
• Re-installed with Loctite on the three bolts.
  

I was still working on the candy when I snapped this pic!
Great product, super fast shipping, easy installation, proper fit, and free candy! I have installed dozens of aftermarket parts on many bikes, cars, and trucks, and none have ever fit as well as Ivan's case saver and sprocket cover.
Thank you, Ivan!

Great thread didn't realize how much the OEM guard sucks. just ordered a blue one

Thanks for all of the kind words. I am very happy that every one enjoys the parts. Thanks again to all!

Ivan

Anyone using this case saver with a 14T front sprocket?

I know a few people have used my Case Savers with a 14T sprocket. It is close, but works. I have tried to make these fit as tight to the engine as reasonably possible so that a 14T front sprocket can be used.

Works for me, perfectly. No issues. Plenty of clearance for onroad usage, and should also be sufficient for offroad, at least when comparing to the minimal clearance of my previous EXC.

In general, always keep an eye on the WRR chain. Do net allow it getting too loose. This will do harm to several parts. Especially with the stock chain, that should be replaced (very) early.

Got mine the other day (blue) looks great, works perfect.

Just got mine in the mail today. my bike had 98 miles and only ridden on a few unpaved roads and already there was greasy dirt and crap stuck in the stock guard. thanks sandman for the great parts and service. the jolly ranchers where gone in 2 minutes. haven't had them in years.
