teal_210 · Nov 3, 2013

Working on building snowbike specific engine covers. 08-14 RMZ ones are ready, working on KTM followed by honda, kawasaki and yamaha.

Thanks! Very nice. Keeping the cold pow off those aluminum engines will be a great benefit. Oil temps up! ,... then water temps. Thanks

I am looking at waterproof, heat resistant fabric and a tight girdle type of cover around the engine for a 4-stroke. Something will come together.

Engine cover

Get a acklands grainger catalogue go too there welding supply's they have a fire resistan blanket in there .wrapped my ktm in it last winter it's light flexible and orange for us ktms waterproof also can lay it over your header pipe no probs plus it keeps some heat around the carb so no ice ing up

I found another one. If we made a tight fit with elastic, "stretchy" velcro around the back, it would be clean and tight. Very good ideas????

Im using the blancket that come on the 800 cats its some sort of heat blancket thats already shaped like an engine so may have to cut it alittle but should be close!

would the fire resistan blanket end up holding water? once it got full of snow and then melted and then frooze again thinking it may end up holding a lot of unwanted weight.. Edit

ps didnt notice the waterproof part

The welding blanket in my shop is porus. I would think snow will freeze to it. I run plastic panels. Teals design is also a skid plate, letting snow flow underneath and helping on downed tree crossings. Plus, looks good

Just finished up a black one for a KX450F!

Looks nice, good work!!!

Looks great! That has to bring temps up... Nice fit

Been working on the KTM ones - a mounting bracket for the front slowed progress, but they should be ready to ship Monday.

Very nice! That should really improve engine temps. Will be nice to see the effects. Is that an SXF?

That's a 350 sx, it's just being used for a template.

My bike with one of these runs 15-20º warmer than my buddies without it. He had his radiators blocked as well, I just have a pre-filter on my radiators, nothing to block airflow.

Will that fit the 2010 sxf and if not any plans on making one?

I'm not sure at this point - let me do some searching to see if I can get my hands on a 2010 sxf.

Here is the 09-12 CRF version.
