I just put this streetfighter clutch cover on a few minutes ago.  What do you think?  Should I paint it black to darken up the engine area and match my wheels?  Or do you think the gold look of the magnesium looks good as is?

I'm not a fan of the clutch noise,  Shocked (no heart attacks please, my insurance won't cover you) and I wanted something that looked stock, but was cooler than my original one (blank, plain, silver)

PS: It is a little quieter than the stock cover.  It has a noise damper thing inside it, but you can still hear it clearly.

Tdps2r: nice clean looking bike! The cover would look nice if it were painted black with "ducati" in red


And I would either paint the reflectors black or ditch 'em   waytogo

TDPS2R:

My suggestion: Paint it black with red letters, and paints the indentations around the edges red (or completely reverse all of that). With the rest of your scheme I think it would look pretty sweet. (Actually the more I picture it, red cover with black letters and indentations would look even sexier)

Otherwise all black is good too. and paint those exhaust/leg protectors black or red while you're at it (IMO)

Perhaps somebody can help me out with this clutch noise problem.

It's a chirping sound that only occurs when the motor is warmed up. The clutch performs just fine.

My thoughts were to take the clutch apart, clean it, and replace the bearing. The bike only has 5,500 miles on it and hasn't been ridden hard.

Any suggestions? Any similar noise issues?  Huh? Huh?

Nice cover.  waytogo The black caps would give it more contrast, but it looks good like it is.
