Title: Solved: Anyone able to identify this clutch cover? Post by: Meerkat on September 26, 2010, 02:46:12 PM Anybody know who makes the clutch cover in this picture? The picture is from CA cycleworks for the speedymoto beltcovers, but I checked speedymoto's website and didn't see it. Also don't see it on CA cycleworks.

Title: Re: Anyone able to identify this clutch cover? Post by: Meerkat on September 26, 2010, 02:59:54 PM You're right! It appears to be out of production though. Thanks for the help!
Title: Re: Solved: Anyone able to identify this clutch cover? Post by: scduc on September 27, 2010, 01:26:35 PM Yep. Area51 by SpeedyMoto. I have contacted them about this a year ago, and they only had 1 left, that had some cosmetic flaw. I regretingly passed. My next step is to buy a blank and machine it myself. I searched awhile back and remember that someone had blanks for sale. If I could get the CAD data right I might make a couple of knock-offs.
Title: Re: Solved: Anyone able to identify this clutch cover? Post by: Ducatl on September 27, 2010, 04:55:41 PM It looks like you could pretty easily do this to your stock cover with a drill press and a hole saw...
Title: Re: Solved: Anyone able to identify this clutch cover? Post by: scduc on September 28, 2010, 12:58:48 PM It may look that way, but I doubt it's that easy. trying to drill a straight hole on an a part with an angle, the drill will want to walk. I am going to try milling my own first, but I think it will turn out better with an aluminum blank.

That's what they make center punches and holesaws with bits in the center for ;) Title: Re: Solved: Anyone able to identify this clutch cover?

They brought both pipes up under the tail, side by side with small cans. Title: Re: Solved: Anyone able to identify this clutch cover? Post by: M900 on October 01, 2010, 05:47:18 PM That's what they make center punches and holesaws with bits in the center for ;) Add a drill press and you have the exact set up I used to drill my cover. Title: Re: Solved: Anyone able to identify this clutch cover? Post by: scduc on October 08, 2010, 05:41:13 PM So I decided to machine my stock cover to resemble the one in question. (will post pics later). As I'm machining the circles, I realize that these are two pieces and now looks kinda bad cuz it separted slighly in the middle. Maybe once I paint it black, it won't be as noticable. Also, What the hell do they paint these things with? Real gummy and the coating on the inside is like teflon. If I cant live with the looks, I will make a blank of my own. Now that I have the Geo. almost perfect.

Post by: scduc on October 10, 2010, 03:02:34 PM So this is what I have so far. I think the holes may be a little too large. (http://i637.photobucket.com/albums/uu94/scduc/DSC01018.jpg)
