Title: choose my clutch plate Post by: M900 on June 07, 2010, 04:44:27 AM I took the red clutch plate for my monster and used it on my Hypermotard -- I kinda thought the red looked bad after I got it. Anyway, I have a gold Evo slave cylinder, so I'm thinking either gold Oberon with silver caps or silver Oberon with gold caps???
(http://www.monsterparts.com/mm5/graphics/00000001/CLU0118R_large.jpg) Any other suggestions that'll be around $120 (or less)? Underneath the tank cover, it's gloss black with the old school cast aluminum winged badge. I'm also going to wrap the headers with black wrap when I get around to it. Also, the exhaust hangers will be modified chrome triangular hangers from the Sportclassics, again when I get around to it... And the chrome ring/bucket will be the same blackas the tank, again whne I get around...

The gold really stands out. Just my 2 cents.

here it is with an old plate I quickly painted gold... Title: Re: choose my clutch plate Post by: billruiz on June 09, 2010, 06:06:22 AM The painted plate looks pretty good. Almost like the caliper. The Oberon plate might stick out because it might be a lot shinier than the painted plate.

Almost like the caliper. The Oberon plate might stick out because it might be a lot shinier than the painted plate. it doesn't look all that hot in real life. :-[ I did it to see how gold looks but you are right, it doesn't quite match a true ano gold billet plate so it's till hard to tell... :-\ Title: Re: choose my clutch plate Post by: BellissiMoto on June 10, 2010, 04:00:45 AM I am not a fan of the smooth oberon clutch cover. It looks dated, and well it is an older design, so I guess it should, but I still would never choose it.
Now the Oberon Cyclone cover seen here - http://bellissimoto.com/OberonClutchParts.html (http://bellissimoto.com/OberonClutchParts.html) and in the pics below would definitely be one of my first choices.

Get stainless bolts for the spring retainers if you haven't already. Understated and cheap! ;D
Put the money saved towards any of the following: light flywheel, clutch basket, suspension work, Flatslide carbs or pistons. Flatslides would be first priority (performance and economy). Great to see an older carb model [drink] Title: Re: choose my clutch plate Post by: Grampa on June 10, 2010, 01:28:18 PM will somebody please make one with this pattern cut into it
