I have heard plastic are better but I love the modquad billet one I haave it is a really nice piece.

Some people claim the plastic is better because if you loose a chain the metal can bust the cases still. I have never seen it happen though.

 

If you are interested I got a used metal one for sale from my motor I am parting. 25 bucks shipped.

My pesonal choice would be the TM Designworks one that is plastic and goes arond the countershaft for an anchor. It is plastic which will absorb the impact instead of billet which will transfer the impact to the mounting bolts. Like I said the countershaft is far bigger than anything else around there, and it is completly surrounded by metal so it is very well supported and won't be breaking any ears off of the cases.

metal will transfer the shock from the chain into the cases. the chain is also a lot more likely to ball up with the metal causing more damage.

 

the plastic ones will absorb more impact from the chain. the plastic is also more slick, which will make the chain slide on through instead of ball up like the metal ones.

I was going to get the plastic one but my local bike shop told me billet was better, I remember some people on here saying billet was bad, just wanted to make sure, plastic it is! thanks guys

ive got a tusk billet, and a 15 tooth up front and the chain is so damn close to it if it ever broke i dont think it could wedge in there or slap the case, but i dont know for sure since ive never had to use it for what its for thank god.

I had a billet saver but switched to a plastic style this season.. The one I got fits up agaisnt the case for support. it was only $20 shipped.. I do like the TM designs but.. it was a lil steep. Not to mention that the plastic ones can be ground down easier then the billet ones to fit the larger sprockets.

Where did you get on for $20 shipped? I can only find them for $30+ shipping.

Not just any plastic one. A TM Design Works is the only one to get. It is also brased against the crank case.

i did have a plastic one but i launch'd in thrird and the sand was a little harder than i thought and the chain snapt and it just thrashd right threw the saver and took a good chunck outa the case i talked to my builder and he told me to switch to the modquad metal one , plus it looks sweet all polished. i havent had any probs with it yet but wel see..
