Sandblaster's two piece cover gets an uncredited plug in Dirt Bike

(1/1)

umberto:
If you got your copy of this month's copy of Dirt Bike magazine, there is a feature on Destry's KX 500.  In one of the pictures, there is a close up and text on the two piece clutch cover that Sandblaster provided.  They talk about it for a paragraph in the story as well, but don't say where it came from.

sandblaster:
Lol... Yeah, that was the prototype off my bike.
Apparently they had some leaking issues due to warpage.
It was on my bike for two years with no leaks.
Then again I knew where the warp was and tightened my bolts to help compensate.
I didn't even use any sealant, just a Cometic gaskets.
Since then the covers I got done have been machined before and after weld and they came out really nice.
I put them all on a surface plate to insure there are no problems.
One of the covers has a very good chance of ending up on Sean Collier's bike so he will get one of the new ones  :lol:
More on that later...  :-o

USMC 500:
Destry was telling me that the 2 piece cover almost got more attention than the bike itself at the photo shoot. lol  :-D

alward25:

sandblaster:
