Sorry, but no. There is not enough space for a spacer. The max you can put between is 2mm but that's not worth it!

I made a CAD model for a spacer version but it is much too expensive for me as a privateer to pay for. Making 5 pieces would cost more than 150,- euros per piece. The problem is the high milling volume which means time on the machine.

Trev - It won't work with the esrart as the starter motor attaches to the power valve cover.

Roger that thanks, Elvis just refunded me.

I decided not to make one of these spacers and go the Elvis route instead. Hopefully I'll be able to ride some with it before the end of the season here.

For sure, shipping usually does not take longer than 2 weeks?

Elvis, this is a 15mm spacer? I see you did make a 10mm what other sizes have you made & tried?

[Elvis74]

Only 10 and 15 mm

Some friends tried 2x 10 but the result was similar to the 15 mm. But the 15mm fits better and looks better.
You will be happy for sure

By the way, the 15mm spacer is similar to the thrusty cover.

Great, thanks for the insight!
