Clutch Cover

[carsounds_dan]

Hi,
Anyone know of any aftermarket clutch covers available for the curvy sv? and roughly how much they go for?
I've contacted a fellow on a german site about one with a window in it but he said that he isnt going to make any until there are 10 buyers ready.
If anyone wants one let me know and i'll start making a list, other than that what other options are there? is there any off of other bikes that fit?
cheers

there is bunch of them available in USA.round clutch cover only,not whole side.

[carsounds_dan]

meaning? do you just mean that the cover is available but just the clutch one, not the side engine casing aswell?

Yes just the clutch, early Curvy's have separate clutch covers. They are made from Aluminium and two at least come with a crash bung, one plastic and one steel.

These three are available from JHS, problem is there are reports of condensation building up behind them and contaminating the oil in our lovely British climate!

right.clutch cover is just round piece.engine cover is whole side.
I think there is guy on svrider that installs window it them,not sure tho.

[zadar]

never had problem with condensation.
some covers like factory pro have casing for bolts inside that gets in the way if you use slipper clutch.

[carsounds_dan]

I doubt i'll ever go for a slipper.. I blip.
I asked JHS about the woodcraft one and they said it was like £170+VAT which is a bit steep, I recon i might just get their cheap billet one.
What else is available? are there no other suzuki model covers that fit?

Nope.

I had the condensation effect the 750, never had a problem with the OEM plastic one fitted. Several others have had the same problem, 650's and 700's. Problem reoccurred when I refitted the Factory Pro one again after crash damage ruined the OEM one.

[carsounds_dan]

hmmm... the woodcraft one looks nice... how much clearance does the standard cover leave?
cheers

Are you on about ground clearance, if so you will not have a problem with any touching the deck (unless you crash).

[carsounds_dan]

no between clutch basket and cover... if I could get the clutch cover to touch down I'd have more to worry about than whether it had condensation in it or not ;)

[Dangerous Dave]

Not to sure, never really considered it. Are you thinking about modifying the OEM one?

[carsounds_dan]

well maybe using it to mould a carbon fibre one from with prevision for a window in it or mill an aliminium one from and see how cheaply I can get them made.. again offering the option for a window.

dan hows your SV going now... all safe and legal lol?? Would love to see pics of it stick some on here.

On the subject dont know if Buster motorcycle accesories might do one they seem to have alot... if not as mentioned JHS or USAAAAA!

[carsounds_dan]

the bike is going well.. atm it's still as illegal as when I got it, just cleaner..
I'm getting the fairings resprayed at some point by a mate in proper 2k baked on... not sure as to stay with silver or red...
The exhausts are being re-sleeved with carbon fibre and re-packed this week.. may stubby them a bit whilst I'm at it :D
I'll get pics up when theyre on... hehe
