Hi Guys, I agree with Sandblaster & you all on the 450 cover & will pursue that route, going to order a new 500 cover once I receive it, I'll start the mod, does anybody have an old 450 cover that I can buy & does it use a gasket or an o-ring, I would prefer to use an o-ring, because if you cook your clutch on a trail, at least with an o-ring you can open it , snap a clutch plate in two, repack the clutchpack & ride on without having to worry about a gasket tearing.
