I paid something like $300 for a 2 piece cover for my 2005 KTM RFS when SFB was making them from billet, so something in the $300-375 wouldn't be unreasonable. Perhaps a billet inner cover to use an off the shelf KX250 etc. removable clutch cover to reduce costs?
Maybe just a machined stock one with a laser welded billet adaptor plate to mount a stock KX250 cover???

i am still wanting to do this to my 86, i have found a few various year older kx250 side cover/ outer covers that i'll have soon. i wonder if those team green bikes had modified oem covers or totally new made ones from japan?
i envy you desert racer guys. i always wanted to do that, but where i live it just isn't so.
motorad i want an easy access cover just because for whatever reason i have a problem with kawasakis and clutch dragging. i have owned many kxs over my life, but have always had something needed on the clutch stuff. my last kawi build was a 86 500, everything clutch oriented is brand new, and still here i am with a small issue of it dragging.
maybe i am just lazy and don't feel like doing everything needed to remove it currently. if i had this outer cover it would be a few minute ordeal to sort out. wouldn't need to even drain any fluid, just lay on side.

I was going to make one using a kx450 outer cover. Very common gasket and you can get some cool covers. I am also going to make some outer covers too that could be personalized. After my move in about 2 months. I will keep you posted.

they should have put the removable outer clutch cover on the kx500 like they did to the kx250 in 88 :?
