It doesn't take much of a drop to snap a spring post off! I've seen one on a trackday with the standard cover on and i've seen another that was dropped on the drive with some kind of half cover on. Problem is that the clutch cover is the first thing to hit the ground when the bike goes over.

Salutary lesson:

I dropped my 748 on the track on the right hand side - it had a vented carbon cover and I wrecked a very expensive clutch. I now use a std clutch cover.

I've 'laid' down my 916 twice on the track, right hand side, result.....two ruined open carbon clutch covers, two ruined clutches.

Lesson.....don't fall down.....

DHC - double hard case? do some nice open, but solid ones!
