SIDE Thread: Lambo how long did it take to get the clutch installed? There's another thread where we were talking about that.Crap - Just cracked a side cover again (3rd time). Had an ez pull clutch and led lights installed and while at the dealer I noticed it.
I talked to BDM and they have "new" real thick covers now as upgrade. Just wondering if anyone here has had them installed yet?
That's exactly what I'm going to do - actually I'm taking washers and going to epoxy them on the top and bottom - guys at BDM also said good idea to do that.I'm on my 3 set of NEW Material Covers :roll:
on the last set I bored out some SS fender washers so they would go over the well nuts and epoxyed them to the bottom of the covers. So far so good.
BTW a few of the new covers were not as thick as the old style, Metal would be Nice. (HINT BD)
Yup - did the new easy pull. I can say it's kick ass easy. I did not ride it yet, but just pulling on it in the shop - big differenceSIDE Thread: Lambo how long did it take to get the clutch installed? There's another thread where we were talking about that.

Re: metal - they figured the cost of stamping too expensive. I told them we all would have gladly paid another $60 or whatever to avoid the down time from cracking - last time was 6 weeks for me.
Is this a k9 only thing?
What?? I had to run down to the garage to check that out. My belt runs about an inch below the bottom of the the cover, and outside it by about 3/8". The only way it would touch is if it was sloppy loose!On my bike the right cover rubs on the belt... when moving the belt will vibrate and start hitting the side cover - I noticed when it started taking the paint off in that area.
I haven't had any trouble with my covers breaking - I have been really careful to not overtighter the mounting bolts, but rather allow them to "float" a bit in the rubber grommets....besides washers and expoxy, is to round out the top mounting hole, then push the side cover inward before tightening up the top bolt to gain a little more clearance.
