2 piece clutch cover
sandblaster:
Your right.
The brake lever is a concern which is why I have a few things up my sleeve :lol:
And, if my current method crashes and burns I have a back up plan :mrgreen:
If that does not work then I'll be forced to make a cover and adapter.
But, lets see how this one pans out first...
cmotodad:
After I did some closer measurements, the outer most edge of the cover is closer to 3" from the centercase.
sandblaster:
Yep.
That's closer to what I have.
I am pulling my unmolested cover off my sand bike today (If I have time) and get some good measurements for internal clearance.
I know there isn't a lot of wiggle room there either but in this case every little bit will count..
Machine it till it barely scrapes without a gasket, then, install a gasket.
Now where have I heard that line from :-D
sandblaster:
Here is a pic with the cutaway clutch cover that is being adapted.
Measuring to be sure we have the correct clearance.
Looks like I am right there 8-)
At this point I don't think I have to modify the rear brake lever at all :mrgreen:
I will get the clutch cover milled down in the next few days and then I will know for sure but for right now I think I am there without indexing the adapter which will save on machine time...
And.... I have about 9.5mm of thread engagement with a 6mm bolt.
I feel real good about that..
But, we'll see.
cmotodad:
Well, I finished up my cover and case. Pretty happy with the results. I will not have to worry about the cover being cracked like the old one, plenty thick. I will send pics when the son gets home.
