It looks the same as the SR cover. So it could fit :?
Don't know how much modifycation it needs.

i have some outer clutch covers from various bikes, and have about 6 500 side covers for my 3 bikes. i was going to make a 2 peice job when i built my 86, but just trying to weld the crack i had was a mother. the old kawasaki aluminum parts seem to be made from junky metal. when you wled on it it is like it was covered in crud and you just started burning away, but my part was spotless, mek'd the whole deal. i had to fix a bunch of stuff on my 86 cases, half the clutch actuator was gone, and lower chain guard tab gone. the metal there was not too bad. but my clutch cover was a pain.
i have some 90s era covers, one is pretty trashed, so not too worried if i kill it. was thinking i might give it a go soon. i have never liked taking the whole side off to mess with the clutch. it looks like the later aluminum wasn't so terrible.

And in that second pic, what is that sensor or switch he has the arm activating? is that an engine cut? DEF. TRICK!! 8-) 8-) 8-) WAIT a minute, that second pic is of a four stroke, isint it??

The second engine is a four stroke,. I've been wondering about the switch myself.

Read some of his articles and you'll understand why I agree.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.

Man, someone should start bangin' these covers out! I bet if you did there would be a sizeable market for it.  :wink:

I think most people would pass on it when they see the cost of it. What would you pay for one.

I still wonder why....  Bling factor is cool.. But its a 500... how often do you guys replace clutches?!

My 1987 still has the original clutch in it.. and it has ALOT OF MILES ON IT... is an understatment..

Sure.. desert race is pretty darn easy on clutch. (use it when shifting and starting stopping)... no hammering on it.. but still...  its a 500.. no need to clutch it like a 250 125...

True. forgot about them...

I also think Im one of those people that are easy on clutch's.... I have never had to put a clutch in any of my stuff... (after rebuild due to previous owners...)...  even in my little bikes.. (175, 250 etc)
