Clutch Cover Mod
Johnniespeed:
There's a stator protector loop too ! And notice the billet clutch arm. And I notice he puts the clutch cable "outside" the frame, like I learned to do from this forum.

Pro riders have techs that completely disassembly their bikes after each race to clean, lube, replace anything that it needs. Just think Destry rides in the desert at a high rate of hurry and I'm sure his bikes need major cleaning and lubing or repair after each event.

That is a great picture showing the front exhaust pipe mount. If you look at the anti-vibe rubber bracket you can see how bad the FMF pipe brackets are mis-aligned causing excessive tearing forces on the rubber. Just take a large crescent wrench and twist the pipe bracket more parallel with the frame tab and you will increase the lifespan of the anti-vibe bracket considerably.

Contact Kawasaki's racing division and have your AMA Pro factory rider resume ready. That clutch cover is an "unobtanium" magnesuim works piece. Notice the added threaded bosses to accept the screws? There is no way to mod a production KX500 cover to work like that works unit. Ahh the trickery of the works bikes. I went to a Parts Unlimited AMA pro track day at Southwick, and I even got a chance to ride Pastrana's factory 125 practice bike. All's I can say is oh my god....... The shear screaming power, and the suspension felt like you were floating on a cloud.....
