Agreed. A quick access clutch cover is only really needed on desert race bikes, and smaller 85-125cc bikes for a quick "between races" clutch pack swap.
If you consistantly need to abuse and feather a KX500 clutch you are flirting with disaster and death ! :)

Here's is a couple of shots of one of the 2 piece covers my brother made for the k5's our kids and riders are racing . This is by far the coolest one the others have solid metal covers.
Polar-Bus:
are the five threaded bosses welded on to the OD of the stock clutch cover?
cbxracer30:
Yes they are, my brother made a jig the cover is bolted to, then the bosses are welded on. Then the whole top is cutoff to be used as the cover. The one in the picture was one of the first ones we did and screwed up the cut. So we cut it off level and made the cover out tinted lexan and alum. The other ones look completely stock except for the bosses and bolts

I'm intreseted if a 250 would work??
What about using the whole 250 or 450 clutch. Inner-, outerhubs pressureplate. Then you could use aftermarket sets.
