i just want to get the ball rolling forward first then we can worry about designs later. i have blank ones on my bike because i dont care much for logos but i dont know what will make you guys happy. and i really dont know how much labor(if any at all) is involved with doing one-off logos for each individual person. blank ones may cut down on cost but im no machinist so i can only speculate. is 6061 fine ?

$475 winning bid? Holy chit! I know there are some enterprising hoons on this site...If I had the equipment and time, I'd get busy.

Those eBay ones are beauteeful!!

I think blank billet ones would look pretty tight too.

did some investigating. these are what the normal guy will pay. hopefully the dude with cnc machines can get a better deal.

6061 material cost for 3 clutch or 3 flywheel covers= $104 plus shipping
7075 material cost for 3 clutch or 3 flywheel covers= $287 plus shipping

if you break that down, $35 per cover in material cost for 6061.

$95 per cover for 7075 material cost.

not sure what labor will be. just guessed on shipping, metal shop may be within driving distance and no shipping required.

I am interested in a set. Would like something with a banned logo.

walz · Post by **walz** » November 30th, 2010, 6:19 pm

PM me with a price and Paypal when they are ready to ship please. I vote 6061.

I'd be interested in 2 ignition covers and possibly 4 clutch covers

All blank would be great

Depending on price of course
Thanks

you guys cool if we base the design off the honda covers ? or the boyesen covers ? i dont recall if boyeson uses the rubber gasket like honda so keep that in mind. what im getting at is we need 2 covers to use as samples so the dude can check them out. might be able to use my billets but honestly dont feel like pulling them off but i could.

Gmbond · Post by **Gmbond** » December 1st, 2010, 4:36 pm

Personally I'd prefer the Honda copy as then you can get the stock flat oring for the ignition cover easily. That and I hate the paper gasket on the boyeson cover! As for the clutch again it would be nice to be able to use a stock oring for convenience and well it works great.

Gmbond · Post by **Gmbond** » December 1st, 2010, 4:39 pm

Oh and also a slightly increased oil capacity on the clutch cover would be awesome along with a slightly thicker wall to strengthen it a bit.

anyone gots some old honda ones sitting around to use for samples ? just need them to be used for the drawings then they will be returned. my honda is in storage across town for nearly a year, i have no idea what kind of clearance is between the cover and rear brake. how was you guys thinking to increase capacity ?

Has anyone tried to hit up Shanman? Since he's already gone through this process, may he could just give you his CAD file or the NC data his guy made them from.
