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.

  • 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.

OEM sproket covers are boring.....

Make one with the signature Suzuki "S" in the center..remove all the outsides and just leave the S down the center.

This shows the rear sets that Im going with but it also shows how everything is going to tie together. The sprocket cover was cut to make the LS of the bike flow better and to personalize a rather boring piece on the bike.
 
Thats awesome. It even matches your rear set. Did you cut that out too?
 
DrImodium..find a way to cut the entire center out of the clutch cover and make it a see thru sight glass so you can see the clutches and oil slopping around.

Now THAT would be slick. I'd want that mod done to my bike.

Yep, and after 30 odd years of being bathed in chain grease, it's nasty! Removing the foam was actually the hardest part of polishing the sprocket cover on my bike!

I've had that idea for awhile now, too bad I have NO idea how to do it. How would you get it to seal up?

Im working on it as I type. Im moving into a now shop at the end of the month so Its still a little ways out, but once Im set up in it, Ill get back on the project and post up some results.
 
i "windowed" my ignition cover on my GS but the clutch cover would be very hard indeed unless you converted to a hydraulic clutch.

Little trick to removing the foam from behind the cover.....spray the crap out of it with carb cleaner and walk away. It will practically fall out ofter a few hours and few soaks.

and the clutch cover has been done cant remember where I found this but I would love to do it only I am returning the oil from my turbo into mine.

that looks awesome but will it still be strong enough to handle some proper clutch abuse? it looks like it has been weakened considerably around the actuator mechanism
 
Couldnt tell ya I found it online somewhere and had it saved for a while. I suppose if you left enough of the structural members in tact it would work......suppose it would be one of those trial and error things. If I need to upgrade to a lock-up after the turbo install I will something like this, but I will paint the clutch basket.....and maybe add a LED.
