[Closed] Can I buy i-spec covers for SLX shifters (covers only)

I'd like to put my SLX shifters on i-spec mounts but can't find the mounts only (apart from XTR ones). Anyone know if they are available and if so where?

Yes I have googled...

I've never seen them for anything except XT.

No idea if the XT ones would fit on SLX, sorry.

I don't think the bar mounts on SLX are removable. There certainly aren't any stock iSpec covers for those levers.

You can see they are a different design to XT shifters.

Is it possible to buy a RH iSpec cover for a XT shifter separately?

I just contaced Shimano the other day asking about conversion parts for the new Saint... They responded that parts for the new lines of shifters should be available from February, but not sure if that'll include yours.

Not sure my SLXs would convert tbh.

Mister P is right - for some reason I though my bar mounts were attached with a top bolt, but taking a closer look they go inside the shifter body as pictured. oh well.
