05 gsxr750 and aftermarket case covers

[ryan]

Never raced a gsxr before. If I read the rulebook correctly, all gsxrs (regardless of year) require  aftermarket case covers on both sides. Is this correct? I just picked up an '05 that was raced in WERA. The case covers are stock.

Thanks,

5.2.22 The following motorcycles must have case guards installed on both sides
of the engine: Suzuki GSXR (all models), Suzuki GSF (all models),
Suzuki GSX (all models), Yamaha FZR600 & YZF (all models except
R-1 ). Case guards may be in the form of strengthened side covers. This
list is subject to change and is at the discretion of the
Tech Inspector. Frame sliders are not acceptable as engine case guards.
A. Case guard or reinforced cover required on the left side only for
Yamaha YZF-R1 and 2000 and later model Suzuki GSXR's with OEM
style body work. (No openings on the lower right side of fairing.)
Yes. I have them. I haven't seen any without them either.

Woodcraft FTW! That's what I bought. I have an 06-07 GSXR600. You may be able to pick them up on the WERA classifieds.

Yep, thats where I'm going to look

+100000000 on Woodcraft stuff in general, everything I've bought of theirs has been top notch!
