A proper enthusiasts site and a fountain of knowledge. Not many like it on the 'net i can tell you Cheers, Russell. |
Changing the cover is really easy, just take the standard one off, out the new one on.
Some Ducatis come with a rubber type gasket that sits behine the clutch cover, if yours has got this you may need to keep it on if you are using an after market clutch pressure plate as these can vary in overall thickness.
Or you could space the cover out with a few thin alloy spaces/washers. Only really a problem if the after market pressure plate hits the open clutch cover when being used.
You can add new stainless clutch springs and caps but this is pure bling and to stop any rust if these bits get wet.
