DSC Clutch Covers ???
Been wondering about this for a while now....since everyone seems to love 'bling' clutch covers (even though mine is still virgin and std).

I wondered if it would be possible to CNC machine the letters 'DSC' into a clutch cover????

Lo and behold I think someone from Ebay germany has answered the question....






Current bid is only 30Euro as well but how about some with DSC machined instead...hee hee.

ANyone else interested???

The covers you show look like they have been machined from a solid billet
you could machine what ever design you wanted, but the cost for just a few would be very high.
You could machine your standard cover I did one with R/R cut out, looked ok but the standard covers are made of two thin aluminium pressing and by the time it was near finished you could almost crush with one hand so gave it up. I bought a Tecmoto half vented cover but only had it on for one week the noise drove me mad so put back to the standard one

It wouldn't be so easy to do an "S", either.

Revisited.....
The guy advertised on Ebay.de once more and I contacted him this time - he can indeed machine the letters 'DSC' but price would largely depend on volume - so once again is anyone interested?

Here is the guys latest ad:

Starting bid is current £59 with £11 P&P to the UK - not sure if that would come down much at all for a volume sale.

Quite fancy one myself now

Not sure I'd go that far (but then I don't ride a bike that's been repeatedly hit with the ugly stick then painted the wrong colour ), but I'm sure there would be better supplier. I have a feeling Alex Ortner is the man to speak to about this. I doubt the 'S' would be a problem for a cnc milling machine.

If we can get really good quality ones then I'd be in as long as it's under £150.

Cheers,

Ali

I agree - I reckon we can get something more stylish, in black perhaps???
