Just get 1 from the UK then . :ummm:
I don't know about over there. I do know the OEM case savers work very well for what they were intended but do still create small dings in the lower frame rail if they are bent all the way over. Nothing that causes any issues with the frame but dinged none the less.

http://boxenstoppdaytona.com/ Boxenstopp can get you the engine saver bracket you are looking for. Or, as gunruner said, you can buy straight from the UK.
http://www.cycleoneoff.com/vmaxpag2.html Cycle One Off has a different version on this page. Scroll towards the bottom.
Sean Morley has a HD oiling kit that includes a different type of sealing ring to replace the orange o-ring, gaskets, and some hardware for boosting oil pressure and volume. Click on the Morley Muscle banner at the top of the page.

I have the Cycle One Off's and they're great! Tom is a pleasure to deal with. Just make sure you call him. He's a bit slow at answering emails.

Pretty sure this guy is talking about the "engine saver bracket" that is talked about on the vmaxchat site in the UK. It goes in the oil pan and holds the oil feed tube in place preventing the o-ring buldge. It bolts onto one of the main bearing caps.
Maybe he can clarify his question to be sure?
Horrible picture form boxenstopp's site attached.
i follow.
i think its a lot easier, esp on a newer vmax, just to monitor the pressure.
but he does have an '85. might be worth a piece of mind.

IMO the worst part of installing any of these kits is removing the old gasket material from the bottom of the engine.
Yea, that's the worst part about building these engines in my opinion. The gaskets do stick! Know that I understand what he wants we have the HD oiling system that can actually be used in conjunction with Tom's pop stopper kit (though we haven't needed his kit.). We increase the oil pressure and flow as well as provide a HD oring that doesn't blow out. The other kits only retain the stock pressure and try to keep the o-ring in place.

I stand by my COO comment as I have his popper stopper kit on my '06 even though they supposedly remedied the issue by then.

Sean Morley has a fix for it as well as others. The later model bikes actually resolved the problem.
It's talked about here for sure but it's NOT as huge of a problem as the internet makes it out to be.

+1, just make sure your bike is warmed up before reving the hell out of it.
My website shows pics of the problem in the engine section. We do sell the HD kit as noted for $100.

I think it's a kawi o-ring and it means High definition... lol
LOL, Kawi Oring, Custom Oil Pump Spacer, Replacement Drive Gear, a Few washers (one for the gear and one for the pump), and a couple of gaskets (Oil Pan and Clutch Cover). So it would be a good time to do the DD upgrade too which I have a few springs and fibers on hand to do that.
Of course, why not go ahead and upgrade the shift segment if it's a 98 or older.
