Man, you posted 2 mns before me!!!!

If they mag leaks and they know it, why would they sell them? They cost a fair amount so I can't imagine people would be happy to get leaky cases. I've ordered the inspection covers, but I don't see much point to switching the case covers. Well maybe the clutch as I like the corse style cut out... but then it probably wouldn't match the other side. What to do, what to do.

The mag cases are nice, but most people would probably be happier with the aluminum cases. They didn't exactly say that the mag cases leak... they just seep or sweat a little oil. Must be because the mag cases are a little more porous and therefore lighter. For racers it would probably be OK.
