Clutch Cover Thread Extension: Wet Clutches?

[MotoCreations]

Prolly just a rumor.......

Last I heard an enthusiast will be testing something similiar this Fall on a S2R800 for seal durability / reliability somewhere on the West Coast.   Probably just another rumour though...

Are there any pictures of this "rumored" clutch cover

I've seen clear windows on other makes of clutch and gearbox covers, these also have to be oil tight so its certainly possible.

Heres the first one I found searching the internet, though its a Kawasaki the same principles will apply to any model

From what I've seen of the members of this site I'm sure there will be a couple with the technical skills and equipment to fabricate something like this for a wet clutch model. Or take a stock wet clutch cover to a machine shop and ask them to do it.

I'm not sure a window into a bunch of oil splashing around would enhance the bike visually.

You've never been to the laundromat and watched the clothes goin' round?

Umm, you dont see the oil splashing around, you just see worky stuff spinning, the oil is a thin film coating everything.

They make such a thing for the 'Busa and ZX-14 crowds. Looks kinda neat, dunno about performance enhancing.

You could drop big dollars and do the conversion.....

Neat idea. If I was running wet i would seriously consider this mod.

I wonder if an internal light source can enhance it in darker conditions? It would be kind'na cool riding at night or even help in day light to better see the mechanical actions.
Nevertheless the light source will have to handle some extreme heat. Not LEDs but maybe incandescents. Just a thought.

Like my oven light

So we have a washing machine and oven referenced in the same thread about wet clutches........

You could chrome out the swingarm too. And add a neon around the engine.



Sarcasm aside, I think the light is a little much personally.

[Ohmic]

Yes. Oven light. Bingo 

Can even add a color filter.

MotoCreations are making parts for S2R800 as well - I'm touched
Stop teasing, get on with it - I want

I have seen wet clutch windows for monsters before.... I cant find the page now. But there is that option.
