Being serious for a second...A look on the 675 website and GB stuff seems to be plagued with problems.

This certainly put me off fitting the engine casings to my road bike.

The chap just fitted them and left it like so, and this was the results...

I've had GB racing covers on all my track bikes. It's top quality stuff. I believe its used on plenty of Moto 2 bikes.

I thought GB Racing stuff just fitted over the original stuff.

I have them on my track bike to, plus the stuff you gave me. Just a bit staggered by the photos above, a bit of a warning that if you fit them to a road bike, take them off and wash regularly.

I assume its just salt and dirt that has caused it.

It is, certainly is on mines. However the guy fitted it to his road bike, left it then for whatever reason went to remove it and found damage like this to all his casings.

They certainly don't warn you of this when you buy them.

They do.

I fitted some to my blade and they were a great bit of kit.

In the photo of the 675 covers, what is the story, corrosion that went un noticed?

I've got to say on every other bike I have seen their stuff has been top notch.

That picture of the 675 casing isn't a good advertisement for them though.

interesting reading, I certainly wouldn't think to look underneath. Apparently lots of owners checking and seeing similar damage.

To be fair, would any of the other manufacturers products have faired any better?

Probably not, however a wee warning wouldn't have went a miss.

To be honest, I don't bother with casing protection on my road bike, if I drop it fk it the things insured.
