Author Topic: OEM Clutch cover mod for lexan cover (Read 12791 times)

Anyone out there doing this? I called Direct Drive a few months back and they said they weren't running them any time soon. Not looking for the extended ring one, just stock cover cut for the lexan cover.

If anyone has an Orange cover that would work, I think I can get it done myself. Looks too cool to not try at least.

I would be interested in this too.

If we can get ahold of those covers I'll definitely mess with it. I have a spare clutch cover to hack on.

Called Direct again, they said they're 4-6 weeks out before running another set for the non-lockout mod. Evidently they just ran a set and someone bought them all, so someone out there has them!

dont listen to numbnuts on the other site talking about ALL DD quick change covers leak at some point. i have ran 3 different DD covers on 3 different bikes for years, and none of them leaked. he is just still standing strong on the leaky quick change fiasco that happened months ago.

not to mention anyone and everyone that runs DD lockups, uses one of their covers.
granted none of these were 250rs, but the general design should be universal.

also why run one those big aluminum hinson style quick change plates that look like they were designed on windows 3.2, when you can run a lexan of any color, and you can customize the lexan easily with a sticker and a sandblaster for an etched glass look

I could see one leaking if the bolt pattern was spread way out, lexan is only rigid to a certain point. Just from looking at pictures it looks like it has plenty of clamping pressure, heck over tightening is probably the main cause for leaks! Even a thin layer of grease on the oring would probably stop any leaking.

**Regarding my last post, Direct Drive can do the mod now to stock clutch or lockout but they're waiting on the lexan run. So the wait is just for the covers. Just in case anyone was wondering.

I talked to Lisa at Direct Drive today and she said they would make these non lockout clutch covers for us if enough people wanted them. Send your cover in and they do the mod and clear cover for 225. I would love to have this over the old style covers. If anyone is interested speak up and we'll see if we can get this done.

They will also make these top covers if this happens. $

I'll probably do 2, one for sure. May have a buddy that'll do one as well.

What's the magic #?

She didn't say how many but remember this is not nothing new they have done this for years so I would guess 10-15 would probably get the ball rolling.
