Re: Making a KX500 2 piece clutch cover :-)
It was time to change the oil on my Sand machine so I decided to check my fitment..

Re: Making a KX500 2 piece clutch cover :-)
Ok, this shows the new clearance.
This time I bolted the inner clutch cover down.
Yesterday, I had it sitting loosely on the engine.
I also took Foxx4Beaver's advice and put a small O-Ring behind the rear brake lever which helps push the lever further from the case.
Even if you push the brake lever as far as you can toward the engine, it still does not hit.
So, I am happy with the results and will have my adapter welded to the inner clutch cover.

Made a little more progress today making a weld fixture to keep the adapter from warping during weld.

Here is the adapter bolted to the jig as it is back from surface grind to make sure it's flat.
Here we are ready for weld.

Since my shop was broke into I have been really set back in all my projects.
The bike that I was using to test fit the two piece clutch cover on was stolen so I had to come up with another test fit method.
This should do nicely.
Junk case, junk trans shaft, and a junk clutch basket...
