Auto Clutch!

As you have now hit a slight stumbling block because the quick change covers are a works only part, how about looking HERE and if this part

s in good condition and off a KX500 of the right year (I know that 88 onwards clutch covers have the same part mumber on buykawasaki.com by the way) you might just be able to get a local engineering firm to machine the side off it then fit a spacer and 250 removable cover onto it, possibly making your bike as trick as a very trick thing and also allowing you to fit a fancy clutch.

I assume that they would have to weld on new bosses for the bolts to go into but it's possible and would mean that working on the clutch would be dead easy.

Quite tempted myself :)

In Dirt Bike magazine a while back they had a article on rideing the Rockies and a guide service you could use.Well one of the guides rode a KX500 with a auto clutch and the same type of "works" clutch cover Destry has,so with some machine work it can be done.

kawdude:
I saw that article also and asked dirtbike for contact information.  They wouldn't give it.

mikesmith:
How about contacting the guide service he worked for?
