Any experience based reviews on HL Supply clutch cover??

[RIDE-RED 350r]

OK, I am not inherently against AM parts or HL Supply. Being one of our site sponsors I will not hesitate to buy from HL should the need arise.

Having said that, I will be needing a clutch cover for my 394 build soon. If I can't find a nice used OEM unit I am considering buying one from HL Supply. I just want to make sure it is of good quality and will hold up. Has anyone here bought one and is willing to share your experience?

Here is what I'm looking at: http://www.hlsproparts.com/Husqvarna-394-395-XP-sprocket-cover-with-brake-p/h60395.htm

Thanks in advance

I don't have any experience with one for a husky but the one I got for my 026 and 044 were made very well

Got one on a 268 XP seems to be holding up nicely.

Thanks guys, that's exactly what I'm looking to hear about. Sounds like a viable option if I can't hunt up a nice used OEM piece.

I got a 272 and cut it to fit on my 670. The brake is nice and tight and will stop it dead quick

The 394 covers are pretty good. Not much sense in going oem on this part.

Two years plus. 660 wide cover with dual spikes and the catcher, no problems. It's all OEM but the wide cover. Fit nice still does. Sent several standard covers out over the years. Nothing came back and no complaints. Some with OEM duals and some AM single and dual spike. One needed a screw hole drilled no big deal. Good cover @ HLS.

clutch cover is like tires( on a car) to me...a "wear" item . replace as necessary....often and cheaply.
find me a 394/5 that don't have a few missing fins...

 

[Mattyo]

Fins? You mean starter cover in that case?

It's been in a bar fight and it's angry

I got a am cover on my dads 394 and it's been fine, seems good so far other than the screw that holds the brake handle stripped so I put oem nut back on, works good.

"Stripped screw?"
Mason, please don't give those looney stihl heads any more ammunition . It's all they wanna rant and rave about...
Loose this...
No torque...
Stripped that.... Oh wait....

I'm like the "sergeant at arms" of that club....

just checking... sounded like you had your nomenclature kinda....uh... backwards

and yes, pretty much everything on a chainsaw is a wear item hehe. I generally consider flywheels to not be a wear item. ...but even thats debateable

What day heck is those broken spokes called on every husky starter recoil ?
Are they fins? Or sumthin else ?

I would call them vents. Their sole purpose is to allow the flywheel fan blades to draw fresh air in to aid in engine cooling.
