Hmm,clutch cover is not my cup of char,but each to their own.
You could always whip the springs off and soak them in WD40.Wipe off the excess and you have some nice dark grey,rustless springs.

if anyones got a set of springs they want to be relieved of then im ya man;)

Take them off, quick rub with scotch bright and a coat of satin black spray. Cost about £1.99 for the paint.

Above also works well on the clutch springs :D

are they easy enough to take off, is there torque settings that have to be adhered to when placing back on carbon749

Hate to rain on your parade Jas, but I really would not want to drop the bike with that clutch cover. It's gonna take out your spring posts for sure and that will cost you a whole shed load more than a cover!

Why don't you do to your original tin cover what you've done to the carbon cover then paint it black. Would give your clutch a whole heap more protection in an off.

Sure there is a torque setting and someone who is clever will be able to tell you.

I did mine 2 at a time taking of the opposite springs. Bolts don't seem too tight, I just nipped my bolts back up and then checked them after first decent ride out.

I'd second that.
