Maintenance & Technical > KX500 Original
2 piece clutch cover
sandblaster:
Your success is most likely due to your aluminum welding skills.
I have none... My welding buddy does not weld aluminum very well but he tries :-)
This may be over kill... then again maybe not... My adapter is only 1/4" thick...
I'm sure Larry, Motorrad, or some of the others here could do it but I have to make due with what I have to work with.
I even thought about using my clutch cover as the fixture but decided it wouldn't be stable enough... Again, I'm sure this is over kill but I want to give this project every chance of success.
I have 3 clutch covers that need to be fixed, I'd like to be set and ready to go from the very first try.
Who knows, perhaps I'll offer a finished product if I get good enough so as to bring down the cost :-o
cmotodad:
I had a friend weld for me. Maybe a bad case half would be good to secure to while welding. I have one but did not think to use it. Thanks for the great parts.
Goat:
I have a set of junk case halves if they are needed. I just keep them around for frame mockups.

Found this cover https://picasaweb.google.com/102067261144953476086/ClutchCovers#5989268830144816242
(Still try to find how to post pics from picasa.)
It's From Paul Malins KX500SR in 1991. It has "the" elbow of the cylinder on the water pipe wich than runs to the rear of the cylinder.
Does anybody knows wich cover this could be?
