would be willing to bet its made by Skinz since the sled is already a moving bilboard for their products. just a guess though.

Christopher,

Yes, we built two turbo sleds for Yamaha 2 or 3 years ago and this cover is one of the things we came up with to cover the turbo.
We had 4 or 5 prototypes of the cover built.
We sold the remaining three over the last two years.
This picture is one of the sleds we built for Yamaha in which we did a deal with them to buy them back.
We ended up buying only one back and a new MTX to build for a customer into a Black.

Anyway, you like the cover?

What is the total cost of that setup and what is the weight savings?

Will this work with any rear mount turbo?

Honestly have no idea.
Might, might not!
Only way to know for sure would be to do some test fittings.
If I can convince SKINZ to do a small production run we can see if they will fit on any other turbos.

If it would fit an mcx I would buy one, it looks like it should.

it certainly "Looks" like it would fit several of the rear mount turbos, but there is NO way to know without actually doing a test fit.
