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. | point taken i havent decided whether to keep it on at the mo.i really like the dp black clutch cover to match my sprocket cover but at £210 i cant justify it at the minute |
Mmmmm. I have the same modified clutch cover set up. My thought is that if you are going to bin it on the left hard enough to wreck the clutch then you will probably damage quite a few other parts as well. Just add it to the repair bill if it should happen. |
Not so! I have seen the slightest of spills wreck the clutch posts without doing much damage to the rest of the bike (ask Loz), and I have seen bikes totally trashed on the right hand side but the clutch has survived cos it had a half decent cover. If you MUST have a carbon cover, then use a genuine Ducati Corse cover, they are very tough - as my lowside today can attest. Failing that simply machine some holes in the standard tin item and paint to suit.
