What are the benefits of an open clutch cover? Will it give me that nice jingling sound or does that come from a competition clutch?

Thanks in advance.

i used to have one but replaced original cover (noise)..
got sick and tired of idiots telling me my "bike sounds a bit rough"
or "gearbox is on its way out"

i know sometimes the build up of dust can cause problems sometimes - i clean out every now and again as a matter of cause..

It's good for allowing the dust to escape and for letting the cllutch noise out.

The steel plates make the most noise and I don't have them anymore so the clutch isn't too loud. The 54mm carbon Sil Motor's are MUCH louder :D

Yep, all the jingling you can eat!

I have a speedymoto one that I got from our very own Nelly. Very solid bit of kit that isn't going to crush inwards and snap your clutch posts if you're unfortunate enough to go down on the right hand side.

You can see in the pic I've attached, although not very well. Apologies for the poor photo.

Could always get a carbon one and trim it back .... let it rattle like it should.

carbon one offer very little protection if you should have an off.
I took my tec-moto one off as the noise drove me mad, I put the standard one back on.

They do look great but the noise is starting to wear thin at the mo, Have to pull the clutch in half the time to keep the noise down when stood still.

Maybe i need a louder pipe:devil:

Must admit..Nellys setups look fantastic..ive gone the JHP cover/DP plate route on my S4R and a boring old carbon full cover jobbie on the 888 (but spaced out to let the dust escape).

Cheers

I have a Ducati Performance one and to be honest the finish on it isn't great, the JHP one appears better.

Cheers BRO !

Jobr - if its still quite new wipe it over with WD40 or muc off bike spray...keeps it nice and fresh (otherwise the lettering gets a bit cacky..!)

Nat Where did you get the JHP cover and to be rude how much did it set you back. I have looked at loads of diffrent covers and i think this is the one for me. Looks great. I did fancy the Ducati spiders web one but i am a little unsure. Dose any one have any pics of the one i mean on the bike so i make a disision. cheers steve
