Two Part Clutch Cover
motopunk:
anyone thought of making an 2peace hybrid-cover for the k5 with an modern 125 cover (engines from middle ´90´s and newer)?? , cause the k5 had always the smaller clutch-basket as the later 250´s and 450´s . i have no 125 parts to compare it, , but i think it will be a genius look, if the diameters of the clutch-housings are similar and could welded together , to get the oem-look.
i also think the stock ´88-´89 kx250 clutch-cover could also be cutted and used for the k5-mod ..
sandblaster, what says the man of steel to my ideas? which one could be done?? 8-)

I see this as being $$ even from china.. with all the Detail work with the waterpump area.

We directly compared the inner clutch covers from 125's and 250's of several years to the KX500.
Yes, the basket area is big enough but the rest is way too small...
Could it be made to work?
With enough time and money but, I think you would be better off making one from scratch.

thanks sandblaster.. i knew that you have all parts for comparing and measuring :-)... my thinking is to buy an cheap and good used 125 or 250 cover. cutting, welding , mashining, polishing to get my old k5-cover to an oem-look 2 peace-cover . if it could be done like i think, is it worth the lots of work. :-)
