    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

clear clutch and timing covers

When all else fails check the gs resources I thought because I was just thinking of doing the exact same thing for my 750. So far have come up short in finding anything since everything I have found as far as bolt on clear covers are for the honda cb's. I am also quite interested in it, more than likely is going to require my local machinist's assistance.
 
Good luck for sure and post up some pics when your done, if you would. It would be great to see how it turns out!
 
you really need to get the machining done in a machine shop, by CNC preferably.
cutting out the clutch cover and the perspex using a jigsaw will look rough and be prone to leaks.plus, if you have the clutch operating lever and shaft as a part of the cover (see pic) then you will not be able to use a jigsaw as you need to keep most of the webbing intact in the cover.

Wow that looks amazing! How has it held up after removing all the metal between the webbing? I would be afraid of it not having the same structural integrity and cracking on the clutch cover.
 
there is no metal removed from between the webbing, just the outer face of the cover. there is still plenty of metal and strength in there to cope
 
Hi age

Looks amazing. Any chance of a video???? How much pill slops around in the clutch cavity??? Does hot oil have any effect upon Perspex long term??? Oil affect the LEDs???

Have admired your setup for ages and have pondered the practicalities.

there is a short vid at the beginning of the thread (post 2). the clear cover is acrylic. no probs with the hot oil, just steams up a bit inside until it warms up. the oil dosent seem to affect the LED's either
