2 piece clutch cover...

[Charlie500]

anybody know of a place i can find one???

[Motorrad]

From what I have read Destry commenting on... Kawasaki only made a few of these for select factory bikes....  He sold one bike with this cover on it, so there is atleast one floating around somewhere...  Another is on his personal #1 Kx500... others... dont know how many there actually were... Id like to get my grubby little hands on one as well...

If I remember the post correctly Doordie actually custom fabbed his own using a clear piece of Laxan, some drilling and tapping, and an O-ring to seal, very neat design, he did a great job.

I forgot about Doordie's.... That was a Neet setup...  I have seen pictures of it in the Gallery, but not a thread on it... Ill have to go hunting now...

Here's mine, I don't think I'd do it again, you have so few clutch problems with the 500.

[Charlie500]

do you want to sell it?

Agreed. A quick access clutch cover is only really needed on desert race bikes, and smaller 85-125cc bikes for a quick "between races" clutch pack swap.

If you consistantly need to abuse and feather a KX500 clutch you are flirting with disaster and death !

Here's is a couple of shots of one of the 2 piece covers my brother made for the k5's our kids and riders are racing . This is by far the coolest one the others have solid metal covers.

are the five threaded bosses welded on to the OD of the stock clutch cover?

[cbxracer30]

Yes they are, my brother made a jig the cover is bolted to,  then the bosses are welded on. Then the whole top is cutoff to be used as the cover. The one in the picture was one of the first ones we did and screwed up the cut. So we cut it off level and made the cover out tinted lexan and alum. The other ones look completely stock except for the bosses and bolts

I'm intreseted if a 250 would work??

What about using the whole 250 or 450 clutch. Inner-, outerhubs pressureplate. Then you could use aftermarket sets.
