Hi mate I've had them warp,probably from over-tightening and heat from riding Anyway it did leak  I ended up using silicone but left it loose overnight,then nipped it up It's still ok now Matt |

hi Nick,
i used 3mm viton rubber o ring cord,
get it by the meter of ebay,
then i fitted it to the outside indent cut it to size then super glued it to make a 118mm ring and then did it again inside of that o ring, so its got 2 o rings one slightly bigger than the other, then for the scews halfords box of assorted rubber o rings and then fibre washers on the outside, hope that helps,
thanks all
best regards,
dave😉

Oh well every one to there own They are purely for entertainment value in biker cafe meets etc .. sit with the engine ticking over and count how many passers-by stop and watch the clutch spinning round, either transfixed by the beauty of it all or trying to figure out why the engine is running backwards .. |

and it looks nice,

Quick oil level check before starting the bike. It is just a gimmick tho.

I think it's very trick. Is there a company that does the conversion or is it easy enough to do myself?

hi Alex,
ive just done it myself, but nk racing does it £55,
cost me about £15 all in, and not hard at all, a drill and a good curved file, oh and a jig saw and a steady hand for the clear lexen sheet, but norbos just started to do em on his lovely online shop,
regards,
dave😉

Cheers Dave. Might leave this job to the pros lol. £55 sounds fair enough as it looks kinda tricky!

I really like the look of this mod and have done for sometime, being able to actually see and hear where all the clutch rattles are coming from! - Hmm not for me yet, will need to cure all the clutch rattles first.
