Alex,  I'd definitely be quite interested in one of these covers. 
Please "get around to it" soon.  :-D

Nobody makes a 2 pc cover for the KX500, they are totally unnecessary for your average used KX500 (unlike a heavily raced 125 or 250).  However if you do some searching under KX500 guru member "doordie" you will find some posts on his custom made 2 pc cover setup, it was very cool...

I'm just about positive that the Team Green MX race bikes came with a factory magnesium 2 pc clutch cover, but they don't call it "unobtanium" for nothing....  :-(    Motorrad is the factory race engine guru he might chime in with the hard facts...

My Team Green KX500 didn't have the two piece clutch cover when I got it, but here is a picture of the one Team Green fabricated for Destry Abbott's bike. Like like it's an OEM part!

Very interesting, looks like he had the same issue I had when I first made mine, brake hits the cover as well as the return spring. Note where the return spring is on mine, that seems to be a popular mod now. As Polar said there really isn't much of a need to have one unless your are using it in competition. If you maintain your 500 properly and use quality parts they rarely fail.
