    Having seen the recent pictures of a member's clear clutch cover (think it was dave d), I've been looking on other forums and seen that a few people have them. Does anyone know where to get hold of one? How much to they cost? Are they easy to fit? Are there any wear and tear issues ie fading of clarity or misting problems?

    I find it fascinating that that you can observe moving parts in motion - is that a bit sad?

    Each to there own, but i think it looks awful, and being brutal, think it detracts from the look of the bike. also cant see it being allowed on a track day without proper type approval.

    I love mine, I think it looks great. I got mine from a other forum member that made it for me for nothing, i'd given him some bit's in the past.
    It works on the 07 due to the hydraulic clutch, won't work on a >08 as it's cable

    As far as misting, when you first start the bike from cold, when the oil's cold, you'll see it in the window, but after the engine is warm, the oil is like water, viscosity, and it just run off, like in the picture. I've had mine for a few years without problem. I also got the pressure plate and bolts powder coated, as you can see :D It was very east to fit.

    I've found some before and after pic's. you decide :D

    this is a standard clutch and plates, but you're right, i think it would look better with a sigma.

    Really ? Are they all red then or have you painted it ? must have done something to the bolts .. Judging by your art work on the front discs and levers I'm guessing your in the trade or have a contact ??
