Of course you can and, tempting as it is, I think that’s a step too far for me and this bike TBH. In the short time I have owned her I have got to know her reasonably well, warts n all. I have the other two if I feel the need to go any faster but, let’s have a chat about pros and cons next time we meet. You can have a go on the triple if you like- it’s a blast.
You really should allow the clutch to breathe. It is likely to overheat if kept closed (hence the majority of open vented clutch covers) and the dust from the spent friction material will have nowhere to go. Tell tell signs it has got too hot will be a bronzing of the silver paint on the closed clutch cover by which point the clutch will be on it’s way to being fried! They are not just bling.
Thanks Joe. This is sounds like advice from experience. The cf one had spacers fitted, no gasket with a c2mm gap. Think it could go back on reading your advice. Any other opinions?
Get the drill, hacksaw and files out. Go vented housing. https://www.gothamcycles.com/ducati...-magnesium-gold--most-dry-clutch-ducatis.html
Yes, both clutch casing and cover were stock parts. I used the cover from my SP4 as a pattern for the slots and holes, and for the casing I looked at various casings on google and set to with a drill, files and junior hacksaw, and voila...
Where did you get those from please Richard? What’s up with them? Sure they’re different to mine but they look ok to me. Just curious
CF came with them on the bike, sorry don’t know from where or if original. The fastners on my bike were nasty Chinese copies of Druz. I bought genuine new steel ones and got them plated. I guess the head design has moved on.
I thought that too Steve but didn’t want to rain on his parade. Richard, you gotta change them, a January job perhaps
Why not get the real deal? . Can't remember where I got my CF air tubes but they weren't to expensive, from memory c£150.. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sou...Vaw39Je6y_RXwgEEZCYxU1QET&cshid=1570869727157 First ones I seen on Google just now
