As a double check, I need to know what the measurement from the outside of the right engine case to the furthest point away from the clutch asy is.
Just checking if the new cover will have the correct clearance.
I believe that it will but I don't have an engine that I can check this with right now.
Right now I have a total thickness of 1/2" for the adapter.
Unfortunately that would make the outside of the KX450F clutch cover stick out approximately 1/2" past where the stock clutch cover ends...
I can easily make the adapter thinner.
However, I am concerned about thread engagement with the aluminum.
Take a look at the pics below.
Right now I am set up for a full 1/2" of thread engagement.
In reality I know this is overkill as there won't be any real stress on it.
However, there is always the guy who over-tightens everything....
So in your opinions, what would be the safe amount of thread engagement?
After all, the thinner the adapter, the closer to the original cover position we can get which means less tweaking of the rear brake lever...
