I love my Revv Up wrap!!
The Rev Up is hand made and they Fit very well, They do the job and dont look like a diaper like some other brands .
 
ok...PST: average looking, good price. $200 USD. highly considering this one.

selkirk: built like an army tank, nearly $700 USD or $1000 bucks canadian after the dust settles. $1000 damn dollars!!

rev up: around $250 or so USD. $325 canadian. local canadian company too. also need an exhaust guard.

moto365: site doesnt even work.

driftersproducts: $145 and needs a carbon fibre exhaust heat shield.

honestly... the only one I like the look of is the selkirk one but the price is absurd. so looks like im stuck with one of the fabric types. not the prettiest but performance is all that matters!!!

Moto365 is no longer a thing. Check http://www.sxslideplate.com/
 
Or you can make your own with a $6 grommet kit from harbor fright and a roll of rubberized fabric. I got 25 feet for $30? Took a few trys (i could make 10 with roll) but the finished product looks like a PSE without the logo and is much cheeper.

What about SXS? http://www.sxslideplate.com/
 

One of these was already on my bike when I bought it, not enough coverage. It definitely helped, but now I have Revv Up jackets over the top of the SXS snow shed.

I like the Revv Up jackets the best out of what I've seen. Better than PST, way better than Drifters. I like that the exhaust is inside the jacket, that's a fair chunk of heat that is kept inside.

What I will say for Drifters is that I really like their track cover or whatever it's called. Covers the ladder section at the front of the track and keeps snow from being thrown onto the back of the motor. Raised temps quite a bit for me.
 
$10 for yard of neoprene fabric from a fabric store, maybe $8 for trap grommets and driver for a outdoor store, $8 to $20 for you beer of choice for while your making the engine covers and enough there to make two sets. Pretty cheap and effective. Also you get money back when you bring your empty’s in.

At first glance at the selkirk engine armor, I agreed, but after comparing what it replaces, it isn't bad. The selkirk is engine blanket, radiator covers, skid plate and heat exchanger all in plus you do not need to buy pipe guards. Add up the cost of all those and you get very close to the selkirk price. Considering that, I decided to try the selkirk engine armor on my new build and just finished it up. I love it in the shop. Proof will be when I get it out for some rides.

If one has already spent money on pipe guards, skidplate, etc. then it probably doesn't make financial sense. But starting from scratch made it easier going with the selkirk so I predict most buyers are putting them on new builds. Anxious to get first hand experience as the season progresses which I'll share. Of note is the heat exchanger is on the thermostat bypass circuit; not the thermostat-open, radiator circuit like I assumed when I ordered. Marc explained his logic so I plumbed it as he intended and will see how it performs.

For sure for me starting from scratch it was a good clean option that included everything and integrated the coolant handlebars with the tunnel cooler... again mine stays a snowbike all year though ...

AND if the Selkirk controls engine temps as claimed and an aftermarket ECU is not needed -- then the Selkirk really pencils out nicely. One or two more rides between oil changes; no ECU, etc. I am trying one on a new build myself.
 
yeah you guys got good points. its just hard to pony up that kinda cash for one, especially since I do already got rad guards, pipe guard, skid plate, etc..

Understood. It makes more sense to me on a new build/new bike, harder to justify if you've already got most of the individual pieces already
 
Finished up a few other accessory installs and took a rip around the yard today for a short shakeout until I get a chance to take it to a trailhead for a short break in ride. Liking the finished product looks and yard performance, but won't have much else to report until I get it into some varied conditions on a few longer rides.
