Dry Clutch Show-Off
«

December 27, 2011, 04:34:04 PM »
Finally got a bunch of priority issues sorted and am now focusing on some aesthetic/functional mods. Next up is a new clutch kit and cover. I am certain I am in love with the nasty chatter. I've actually met chicks at bars after riding up with all that racket. My current setup is just the removal of the stock gasket and the installation of rubber backed washers. It puts the stock cover out about 3/8". The increase in racket is tremendous.
Anyway, I started looking around and there are so many options -- too many options. I've even seen some really sweet mods made by cutting up stock covers. I really like the Area 51 cover, but they don't make it anymore I guess. Maybe I can try to make something similar with my stock cover. I'd like to see any unique or nice setups anyone's got. Everybody like pictures...
Thanks!

I know. I was hoping to see what people here have and to have a discussion about it. Like why they went with the option they did and how they like it. Maybe even vs something they had before. I don't know, it's a forum.... to discuss stuff...
edit: and it's 1,390,000 pictures... Which was kind of my point -- it is way too much.

There are 30,000 censored clutch cover pictures
I guess those are the really sexy ones
I have a wet clutch, so I decided to not like dry
, so feel free to ignore my opinion on the matter

Yes I know disappointing but there is still a lot of options in there for you to look at. The best clutch cover I ever saw was a custom job one of the members here did with an oem cover and a dremel -

Holy shite! Wow! Not my style these days (back in the day I would have dug it more), but that is pretty damn unique and cool. I like how the spring in the left eye socket looks like an eye. Sweet.
The other thread is almost 4 years old too. It is an awesome thread for sure and thank you (I'm still flipping through it). There are lots of new ideas out there too I'm sure. Thanks!

I already have 3 laying around but if i didn't I would have picked up one of these.......

It's off e-bay right now but I'm pretty sure the guy makes them whenever he get's an order.
Not a bad price, either.

Those are pretty cool looking. Would be good to see what one looks like on a Monster.

Sorry for the thread jack, but does anyone know who makes just the blank billet cover so I can machine my own?

I know they make them for the wet clutches but I am not sure if it is the same bolt pattern as a dry clutch.

When you get a chance, please start threads on:
1) which oil to use;
2) which tires to use;
3) which turn signals to use.

Having come from years on big-bore Sport-Touring bikes, I'm just glad to be without windshield buffeting and car tire threads!
