Are anyone making these for other people?   I'd be down for 2 of them providing they aren't cost prohibitive.

I spoke to Roost today and he beat me to posting his pic  :-D
Roost will be making 2 piece clutch covers complete.
You will need to send him your clutch cover.
Prices and details are not available yet.  :|
The adapters by themselves will be available for about 60 plus shipping.
The first batch was made from 3/16" not the 1/4" we wanted... :oops:
But I think they will still work.
As soon as I get my hands on my batch I will give it a good try and see what happens.
I'm ready, where's my adapters???  :lol:

The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Count me in for an adapter when you get one my T4 needs one.
I finally got around to finishing my first attempt at one I started for my bike about 4 yrs ago I used some pretty rough old covers so hard to make look to good but proved for Motopunk? that the 88 and 89 250 covers work great

Looks great... Nice job.
We knew it could work.
The reason I chose the adapter I made was so that we could use the KX450F covers and it should be less work then using the one you did...
And the covers are relatively cheap and certainly easy to find.
But yours sure has a nice factory look.
Congratulations on a job well done.
Post some pics when you get it mounted up.

If there was a drawing for that 1988-89 250 pattern I could slip some on the next sheet also.  :wink:

I don't like CRF covers on my green machine either which is why I used a KX450f cover  :-D
But I would like a window  :|
Then again I change my oil so often that I really never look at it  :-o

Nice job on your covers Toby. Did I read your post right? Are you going to put one on your tecate 4? How are you going to do that? I see the clutch release and rod being fairly complex. The KX's seem a lot less involved

The main reason i like a window is after having a cr500  supermoto nearly kill me due water pump seal fail /overfill the tranny and pour creamy oil over my back tyre
Since then i like to glance at a oil window before i ride

on the dirt not a problem

Dirk  I have 1 T4 with a Kx 500 in it . I have looked at how to modify the T4s covers but they would take more machine work that I am capable of.

Roost the 88 covers wouldn't really need a adapter all you need to do is mill the cover down the same as the 250s then build up some tabs for the bolts they are basically the same shape and size as the 500s  but the 250 covers are pretty scarce and you cant get cool aftermarket covers I like sandblasters plan I just did this one cause I had it laying around.

as for the window issues you could have whoever installs your adapter remove the old window port from the 500 cover and weld it on your 450 cover of choice

on another note make sure you find a good welder or send it to roost for a install my cover was the worst casting ive welded on I fought it the whole way it was full of crap

I'd looked for those old covers a couple years ago too and just bailed on it. haha

The cases need to sit on a hot plate and bake the oil out of them before welding/
