Can you fit a pointy rh engine case and clutch cover on a curvy?

Fed up of the one on my track bike dripping

I don't know if the designs are the same, but why don't you stick it on a lapping table and give it a good once over? Reassemble with a new gasket and a bit of hylomar, job's a goodun!

Whats a lapping table?

Tried new gasket, tried the best sealent money can buy (well £30 a tube).

Basically a uniformly flat surface. Get a sheet of very fine sandpaper that's big enough for the whole cover to sit on, stick it on a glass coffee table (cause they're usually nice and flat) and rub the mating surface of the cover over the sandpaper in a figure of 8 motion. If you put some permanent marker on the cover before doing this, you'll see the high-spots where it's not flat, which will probably be where it's leaking.

Well it will probably be leaking from the low spots... but yeah

Yes, all same except oil window location. Your oil level should be above F line with pointy cover.
