Transperant clutch cover
 
I've seen this transperant clutch cover on an American SV site and think it's real cool! Just have got to get one of those! Any ideas guys? Have you ever seen this sort of thing on an SV? Looking closely at it reveals thats its not a simple mod. The filler cap seems to be flush and moved up from the original position. To do this mod on a stock cover I'm thinking that first you've got to fill in with welding the holes left over from the filler removal and then re-drill a new filler hole. This is done so that you end up with a nice round plexiglass area for looking at the clutch. I'm not so sure that the engne is filled with oil in this picture though as the sv has a wet clutch. Still a great mod though. Something I've always wanted, reminds me of the ducati monster a friend had some time ago. It had the same mod and looked so mechanical. Nice to see parts working.

How much and where from?

Looks cool, saw a lot of them today at Big CC. But then again I saw about 50 odd turbocharged bikes too! :)

That's what I'm trying to find out pal! The post from where I got the picture is not responding! It's been a while now but no reply.

Oh yes please Sir.
Something about this is very appealing to me. Nice find Zunkus.

*waits patiently in line for details* :P

The problem is, the SV's clutch is wet, not dry. So that lovely clear appearance will look all brown and yukky as soon as you start the engine up ;).

There's always one that just HAS to come along and ruin it for everyone else. ;)

I bet you went around telling your friends Santa wasn't real! :)

All the better reason to change that oil mate!
I still think it'll look great.

Any ideas how it could be done?
