Can you get these? I am not sure if I like the clutch competing with the termi notes, and I am thinking I might look for a sealed clutch cover with windows so you can see all the action happening inside just without as much noise.

Are there any out there that provide this? The rizoma ones look like they are open round the sides but have a top perspex window is that correct?

yeh you're right - the perspex cover is only on the outer face of the rizoma - not the raised "sides" so the noise is heard. i don't mind it though as when you're under power the clutch is quiet - main problem is when you're idling at the lights.

2008 S2R1000 changed - spark headers and tail cut done, rizoma grips indicator lights and clutch cover titax levers, DP ECU, open filter, ...... maybe stop then............. nah think i'll add rizoma rearsets and their conical handlebar is f..hot... and then i need to get rid of those mirrors....

I have one of the Rizoma's with the perspex cover. It is open at the front, so you do get a bit of rattle but I don't think quite as much as some others. Still, its hard to know if the clutch or the shortie zorst is louder at idle.

yeah my sight glass is cloudy too, bugs me but I can't be arsed working out how to clean it :) laziness strikes again lol.

I was ideally hoping to find a cover that has a metal frame with the perspex window, so it still has some protection to offer for the clutch parts... google is not delivering.

Go for a good long ride, its just condensation from lots of short rides around town.
Get the bike up to a good operating temperature for a length of time and it will burn off  [thumbsup]
