It's great having all the new options of crankcases and mag housings but pound for pound are they that much better than the sil ones. Some of these are four times the amount. They look very nice but so does an Indian one if you spend a bit of time on it. So what's the verdict. Worth the investment.

Where are you buying a SIL case from these days?

And what about the UNI ones that were expected?

Got one from Rayspeed about 6 month ago

Just bought a couple of UNI polished sidecasings, and the quality is fantastic.... Casting is perfect

They are worth the investment if you want an engine that exceeds the limits of a standard case. So, there's a place for them right enough. Thing is, it's a big world, so there's room for new standard cases too and everyone is happy.

Last SIL one I had was from Restos. The casting was poor, very rough. It also wasn't machined properly for the great selector shaft. It wouldn't go all the way down without jamming and had to be reamed before it was useable.
