so we are at 4 packages total so far, with 3 of them being singles, and one being 3. I'll be on the lookout, and post when I see them!

Natural selection favors Smart people, so nature selects morons to be slow and dumb for tigers and stuff too eat. But in our modern world there just aren't enough tigers.

It has been suggested by a member that, given how thick these clutch covers are, that they could be modded 2 ways. 1: Take out the minimum material thickness, so they just fit. For a woods riding application, where maybe a little extra meat would be welcome. 2: Take out the maximum material so they are thin and light, holding the most oil.
Your call guys, let me know. I haven't discussed this with my guy yet, but I'm sure it's possible.

dont forget the pressure plate goes out when you press the clutch....
id take along a known working stock cover along and make sure they have the same clearance
it would be embarrassing for them to not fit second time round

the 450 will have less power and will be harder to start, and will be heavier, but to make up for it it will require more maintenance.

Where exactly are they hitting?
I would go for minimum material removed. your not talking about enough to make any real weight savings or oil capacity. The high-strength is appealing.
Someone mentioned the clutch plate thing in the thread already. Bob had said to start the bike and tighten up the cover. And they said to make sure to pull in the clutch slowly the first time.

This may have been said tongue-in-cheek. Starting with the cover loose obviously means there can be no oil in there, which makes it a bad idea in my book, full stop. If you DO do this (called race clearancing), FFS do it slowly, don't be surprised if it smashes your spring posts off the clutch hub, and then FLUSH THE GEARBOX COMPLETELY, or better yet, a total strip down clean to remove all the small aluminium particles that will eventaully fuck your clutch and gearbox. Better yet, treat it as a tongue-in-cheek comment ?NightBiker07 wrote:Where exactly are they hitting?

Thanks again...when it's all sorted out we should have some very nice lifetime pieces.

Drop me a ring so we can work out a time/place to exchange shit!
Oh, and some of you guys went overkill on the box. Sean needed the large box, but two guys spent about 2X what they needed to. One fellow sent theirs in a box just big enough for the cover.
Flat rate envelope would have been the cheapest. Wrap the cover in foam/bubble wrap and flat-rate envelope. 5 bucks!

You bet, Mike. Thanks. Found it craftily hidden (dare I say it) atwixt the 2 500 covers. You crafty bugger you.Gmbond wrote:glad to hear they got there so quick, did you see the 250 ign cover in between the two 500 clutch covers?
Perhaps you and I could partner up on smuggling heroin into the country. We could toss aside this life of employment and drudgery. I hear Afghanistan is LOVELY in the harvest time.
