I think that’s just a 288 cover that they show bolted on to a 2100

I sent them an email inquiry - when they respond I’ll let you know. I wood think they do but the shipping might be more than the part itself ! Point is : the product IS available.

And it IS just an aftermarket 288 cover that you could just go and find on eBay.

Nope , A 288xp won’t fit. U need a chainbrake assembly from a 1100,2100,298 or a 380 and you also need the clutch drum size 84 or 88mm Good luck on eBay ! They want a small fortune for just about anything chainsaw related!

Looks like a standard aftermarket 281/288 cover to me...

That particular chain brake cover that you linked to IS for a 288. Do you see what I’m saying? You are looking at a 288 cover. There is nothing special about the cover that you linked too, other than that the Chinese mislabeled it.So … IF someone wants a chainbrake cover for this 2101xp it is available and can be shipped to the USA… I can order it but the price will increase accordingly

Because it is! It's common to modify a 288 chain brake cover to fit a 2100.

Correct ! The key word here is modify!
A 288xp cover will have the brake flag waaaay too close to the handlebar!

A 272 cover will fit a 288 as well, I bought a 181 with a 272 cover on it and it had the same ugly gaps at the back.
I highly doubt it's been modified in any way other than a bit of clearancing on the cover's edges. A 395 flag is the same as a 288 flag, a 272 flag is far closer to the handlebar, and there isn't any other flag I can think of that mounts/fits that way.
