Post by kev64 »

Took both covers off this afternoon (clutch and alternator)
Can these covers be powder coated ?

Lee, one of the blue hose's in the picture of your bike looks like it's fed thru the wrong part of the frame, I might be wrong tho, the hose heading up towards the coolant bottle looks wrong?
i'm thinking this pic might have been taken before you finished routing all the hose's?
HEY YOU GUYS!!!!!!

I had mine done satin black a while back, you have to remove the little oil sight window in the clutch cover, and keep the gasket face clean, but apart from that, away you go.

Yes, the pipe routing looks odd. But easier to ride with the old matchstick-in-the-throttle cruise control on and your right hand warming gently on a cold morning.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
