Clutch Cover - (Window) fitting - AntsBuza - 07-10-2007
Here's a little run down on my install of a Quick Access Clutch Cover I also did it with a clear cover.
First I installed the cover.
I reversed the lid so I could pick up the centre height.
Taped a red dot pointer to a jack and brick.
Got the centre height (red dot).
Then pulled the cover off.
Taped the fairing and re-fitted to the bike.
Got the red dot mark.
I checked twice just to be sure.
The scary part.
Cutting a perfectly good fairing.
Good excuse for a new paint job.
Cut, sannded and all fitted up.
I also have a solid cover for drag racing just in case I can't run with the clear.
Tested no leaks.
Another mod done.
GENERAL INFO
Some types of clear material will discolour & some will turn opaque.
I had one on my tlr for about 2 years no problem with discolouration.
I used 6mm lexan for the glass, very tough.
There's 2 ways to do this cover.
1.Stock cover.
remove the 3 hole plate.
Hole saw for hole.
Bolt on the glass with silicon,bolts and nuts.
2.This is the way I did it.
Stock cover.
cut the outer housing off.
Machined up a boss.
Welded on to original.
Seal ring and bolts.
No silicon or nuts.
The reason I did the second was.
I didn't like the idea of holding the cover on with nuts,use nylocks if you do.
No silicon.
Larger window area.
And I can remove clutch plates without pulling the whole cover off.
And I have the space to fit a multi stage clutch.
Both ways look good though.
