Billet ignition covers

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!

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.

I don't think there is enough meat there to make a worthwhile difference in oil capacity.

my last clutch cover had a rock flip up and smack the cover, smacked a hole into it. i say remove little as possible to fit. its really a bad ass cover as is!

I'd go for the thickness. I have half a box full of cracked and cracked repaired stock clutch covers.....I take a turd that weighs more than both those covers weigh together every morning so the weight savings really isn't an issue for me. Thanks again!!

Your cover on the way Matt?

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

dam, I woulda missed that one, good point, obvious but good.

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 ?

Mine never left Roosty, he was going to do the ignition smooth out etc. for me and all of this showed up before mine left.....so it's with Roosty.

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

Great. Will arrange to pick up asap. Let me figure it out.

Gmbond · Post by **Gmbond** » May 2nd, 2012, 4:56 pm

Andy you should have mine by Friday.

NightBiker07 · Post by **NightBiker07** » May 2nd, 2012, 5:21 pm

Anyone else planning in sending covers my way?

scooter5002 · Post by **scooter5002** » May 2nd, 2012, 7:17 pm

Thats it Ern. All covers accounted for. The rest wound up in Oz or never left Adams. We're good man.
Great Mike. Hopefully get this wrapped asap and covers back out again.
Stay tuned.

Wait. You probably used Canada Post. I should see those about (aboot?) Christmas time. If you marked the pkg "Rush" and "Special Delivery".

Hope you didn't mark "Fragile". They'll be TRASHED when they get here.

Arrived in my mailbox today Mike. Wow. Everytime I think Canada Post can't do ANYTHING right, they surprise me. Even the blind squirrel gets a nut now and then.

Gmbond · Post by **Gmbond** » May 3rd, 2012, 7:37 pm

glad to hear they got there so quick, did you see the 250 ign cover in between the two 500 clutch covers?

NightBiker07 · Post by **NightBiker07** » May 3rd, 2012, 9:48 pm

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.
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.

Will do Ern. Honey and I are planning a drive down that way tomorrow night. Hit the Olive Garden and visit my homey north of the Motor. Call you when I have a definite time.
