Two Part Clutch Cover

<< < (3/5) > >>

sandblaster:
If we can't find one to be copied I'll go ahead and get my adapter done..

jamex:
Sandblaster, if you get yours sorted out will you scan it so that we can get a few made, I'm not trying to make money out of anybody here just would like one. I want to be able to lock up my crank in an easier way when doing the timing with the PZB magneto, I'm still not happy with the spark timing angle & its difficult to get the flywheel in exactly the angle you want when you cannot lock the crank properly. Do you have another cover in stock, then when I go home on leave I can start my own mod, I have bought from you before a couple of times on eBay.

sandblaster:
I have no desire to make money from them either.
I can't get it scanned but I can provide a Solid model in IGES or SAT once I'm satisfied with the results.
I have discovered that the clutch cover is not as round as you think, so I'm trying to make the model as form fitting as possible.
The problem that I see is volume.
If you want to do 100 of them, that will cost a fair amount.
I'm not sure there is that much of a demand for them.
Sure, you could do 10-20 but after that?
I'm just not certain..
Also, the current model I have is for using a kx450f clutch cover for ease of replacement in the event of a crash.
I'm not sure that most would want this option unless they plan on running a oil temp sensor in the second filler hole.
I can make one for a custom cover but I really need to get an idea of which direction people want to go so I know where to put my efforts.
This is our busy time of the year so time is limited.
In case you missed it, here is a link to the thread that a lot of the work has been detailed on:

I don't have any other clutch covers right now that I can sell or lend/lease, they are all spoken for.
Motorrad has my only extra cover right now for some cooling experiments.
So let me know which you guys think we should go, custom cover or kx450f cover...

conbread:
id say the 450 cover because they are easy to buy and will be around for awhile..and im sure they make nice boysen ones to match the flywheel covers..

mlstoner660:
Yeah I'd say the 450 cover. Like you said sandblaster it would be a lot easier to replace in the event of a crash and I'm sure there's all kinds of trick ones out there to give it that extra flash if you wanted it.
