Does anyone have one of the ESR quick change clutch covers? The price is attractive but I am not sure about the quality and wanted some opinions. I am not after the looks I just want the functionality of it. I know I can get one from burgard and also CT had a couple polished ones but they were more money.

I have been using one for 2 years now. Do realize they are new and you should heat it up before pressing the water pump bearing in.
-
Other than the bearing, no issues with it at all?

If I wasn't so set on finding a Duncan specific cover, I would definitly went with an ESR

The surface the bearing was being pushed into did not seem square or machined square to the bearing bore. I guess what I am saying it was not the same as OEM ones we are used to. Did not really have any issues with anything.

I am curious about these too! I thought I read on their site that the bearing and mechanical seal come installed???

Back when they first came out on sale for $199 the WP mech seal and bearing were shipped on the side. I see that the price has gone up to $299

Back when I got mine, they were still $199 and mine came ready to go with bearing and seal installed. I have raced the entire year with it and rode quite a bit last year. Zero issues to date. Have not actually used the quick change function yet, but have had no issues with any leaking anyway.

That's a good point Puma. A lot of folks don't think about or don't know to check bearing clearances. That's a extremely important thing to do on a new, never used part. Also a rule of thumb for installing bearings is to avoid pressing them into cast parts, always use heat if possible.

I had one on the last build. It worked great with no problems at all and I would absolutely get another.
-
I've been running one for about 8 months with no trouble. I'd buy another in a heart beat.
-
That's what I wanted to hear. Thanks guys for all the honest opinions
-
At least 1 to start anyways
-
Ill be buying one within the next 2 months

I bought one when they first came out and were 199. The bearing and mech seal were installed on mine and I have been running it for 2 seasons now and everything still works great with no leaks.
