I bought a silver belt cover thinking it may be a perfect fit but it isn’t and I’m not downplaying this piece I absolutely love the look and talaria boys I just wish there was more detail or description explaining the fit I probably could use big spacers and longer screws but I was expecting a good fit especially since I know TB test all
Their pieces on the bikes before confirming bike fitments , when I first put the belt cover on I automatically did notice it was smaller then the OEM belt cover and that the TB cover was pressed up against the belt and I was willing to test it out for a few days accepting the fact it might wear down my belt or snap it because of the rubbing but I was get assuming if it did so then the belt wouldn’t be touching the cover anymore with a chance of not snapping the belt entirely but after about a week of having the TB cover on riding home from work each time I’d let off the throttle and get under 10mph I started to hear metal scraping , the same sound you’d hear if one of your break pistons is touching the rotor two metals sliding and scraping against eachother and at first I just thought it was the break pistons plus I have to make it home so I wasn’t fully examining what and where the sound was coming from just because my old talaria mx3 break piston would scrap against the rotor and make the exact sound but once I got home and took the SR out again I was looking for the exact reason and place the sound was coming from and when I put my head near the belt cover I heard the sound loudly and when I did the same by putting my head near the break disc I did hear it as loud there and that the sound wasn’t perfectly coming from there and then I knew it wasn’t the break pistons but the belt and that was yesterday and today with sunlight I took the belt cover off to find a section on the belt cover grinded away from the belt and again I’m not knocking TB or there pieces because all my aftermarket pieces are mainly from them for my MX3 and SR i just wish they describe in the description not snug fit and may need longer screws and big spacers for a perfect fit I still want to keep and use the TB belt cover but at this point I’d rather rock the OEM cover rather than lose the belt and I’m just informing TB or future buyers for SR and maybe 3.0’s , I’m sure it fits on past models from Eride but for the SR it’s not a snug fit and will be scraping I can’t fully say about the 3.0 but I know the SR and 3.0 are very similar so take the risk but 2.0s and lower I’m sure this will fit and I’m just informing this information for positive future changes , maybe TB could make a slightly bigger and longer belt cover for the SR and have bike fitment selection for Eride pro s all the way up to the SR for better fitments now I don’t wanna compare websites but I found another website offering the same exact design of belt cover just a different logo but they have an option for 2.0’s and 3.0/SR belt cover I’m assuming the option would be because the 3.0 and SR would need a bigger cover and I’m not looking for no refund or to tarnish TB I’ll actually point people to buy from TB because their reliable for a lot of aftermarket parts just not this belt cover FOR the SR . But thank you TB I’ll still be buying parts just wanted to inform future buyers for certain bikes and for possibly positive improvements TB could take for this specific piece and bike
( I’ll even add photos of my belt cover and belt for reference)
