WINDOW CLUTCH COVER - new and improved mk2

[Deano]

got this back yesterday.

this is for a 1100w and the oil filler restricts the diameter of the window. as it is the window opening is 104mm but for the oil cooled were the filler is in a different spot i should be able to go to about 127mm opening.

if anyone is intrested then let me no as i may do a CNC run of them if there is enough intrest

Unfortunately no good for me Deano, but great workmanship.

Cheers Rich

Hi Deano,
looks like someone knows whats he doing.

Mate, you would'nt be able to knock up a billet cover for a TL?

Frankie

[Gix11]

What can you supply mate? By that I mean do we get a donor cover to supply to you for mods, or do you supply just the window and fittings and we have to fit into existing cover? By the way, looks shit hot mate!

[Foxy]

Looks sweet as Deano, again, no good for me but it looks the goods man,

Coming tomorrow night?

Will they fit a GPz9? if so I'll definitely take one.

[Gsxar]

ME:DME:D That looks ace

[Deano]

Chalk- not sure mate, you need to get you ruler out and check what you think the max dia of a hole is that you could put in your cover. from memory the cover/insert (pictured) needs a 127mm dia hole in the cover and the step goes out to 135mm (i think)


Gix- as it stands I would prefer to make just the alloy window and housing assy. the cutting of the cover and grinding away of the webbing on the back of the cover are very simple and just about all of us no an ally welder to weld it in place (Exben maybe).

I dont have a spare oil cooled cover (plenty of watercooled covers tho) but if somone does have one then yes i could do an exchange basis were i will have a cover already built and then you will send me your cover. this is not my prefered option as i subby out the welding and am relying on them for a speedy turn around. i will have to charge more for this service as just the welding of this cover cost me $30.

yeah mate, shaneo is coming along aswell

[damige]

Gday Deano, could you send me a pic and what would all up cost be?

Damige

[hooligan]

I'm interested too, deano. I might even have a spare cover.

[Razorback]

Hey Deano, excellent work mate youve got me keen. Im pretty certain the Bandit cover is identical and Id be very interested in doing it. I can remove mine pretty much immediatly since the bike is still on blocks anyway. Can I just ask aproximately how much dinero ? and how long to do it ? Cheers mate :)

[Gix11]

Yea, mate, I can take the cover off the 7/12 or get another from the wreckers, so I'll go one as well.

[Deano]

as for price - it is yet to be decided.

the cover that is pictured was machined as a one off but if i can get a dozen of so made then it is worth getting them CNCd

working on the fact that the welding alone was 30 bucks then for me to cut the hole and grind away the webbing and get them welded i would have to charge about $60 plus postage for just the fitting/welding on top of the window cost.

time frame depends mostly on the CNC guys and how much work they have backed up.

I will go and see the CNC guys and get as exact quote for the windows and let you guys no an all up cost and we will go from there.

If you can track down spare covers then that would be great as i would prefer to do them all at once.

maybe those with spare covers could lend/let their cover be used as an exchange for those that don't have spare covers so that your bike is not out of action.

[fimpBIKES]

mmm, i wonder what type of plastic the tiller covers are....

[Stocky]

We have had some sucess with machining out the back and using a 3m silicone type product to "glue" the perspex into the cover.

Gives a clean smooth look.

I've always liked the look of the bolted in ones.

I'd like a bolted in one for my GSXR so I can unbolt the window and adjust the slipper clutch.

[luke4130]

Good stuff deano. The window really looks the shit. Now I'll have to look in the parts bin for a cover for the 1052.

[speeddemon]

I was goin to to do that sooner or later so Im interested

[damige]

Why cant i see the pics im using mozilla firefox ???

[crazymofo]

im using firefox, no problems with pics.

deano, im interested, but im on a tight timeline to get the bike running by fools run, so it'll have to wait till after the fools run.

great work btw!

cheers.joe.

[Gix11]

Damige, might be one of your settings in Firefox? I don't have a clue otherwise. As Mofo said, he can see them with the same browser. Sorry mate.

[Razorback]

I prefer the look of the bolted ones. Please keep us posted Deano Im definately interested.

[Deano]

will hopefully be able to finalize the price early next

[joe.d]

YES that gixer window clutch is the bollocks I want one!!, and I didnt think it would be possible becouse of how the clutch works,
NICE
So I wanna put a a window clutch in my 2002 GSXR 1000, what would it cost.

[Deano]

joe. look at stockys profile and go to his recent topics and you will see a spot where he explained how it was done.

from what he described should cost very little

[speeddemon]

Damige you are likely using adblock in Mozilla. That why pics dont show up.

[damige]

Thanks got it workin now :D damm nice covers

[Deano]

i have finially got an answer back back from the CNC guys and pricing is as follows

to supply the alloy window assembly for FITMENT TO YOUR CLUTCH COVER BY YOU
you will get
1 window assyembly
2 polycarbonate windows
3 replacement orings
12 stanless steel clamping screws and washers
1 tube of loctite grey max gasket maker.
1 set of fitment instructions
Price $230.00ea inc postage to Australia

If you require me to fit the window to your cover then you will get all of the above including fitment/alloy welding and i will also lap a new surface onto the clutch cover sealing face incase of heat warp during welding
also remove the oil sight glass for welding and refit and seal
price $290.00ea inc postage to australia

You will have to send me your cover and i will modify that and send it back to you.

turn around should be about a week or so.

I haven't got the window bodies made yet as i need to see how many people are still intrested at these prices.

If you consider that the guys in the UK are 185 pounds (about $410) plus shipping and once they receive your cover they say that they can ship your windowed cover back to you after 4 weeks plus shipping.

You no you want one!

[Gix11]

You know I do. Put me down for one mate.

thanks for the fone call Deano,I'll definately take 1 too($290 model).Will rip her off and post it down in a cupla weeks,unless ya need it straight away?
cheers

[Deano]

davo.

take your time mate. If enough people want one then i will tell the CNC dude to make the bodies and they say bout 2 weeks from date of order.

[Deano]

not using the can tho a bit to long at this stage.

[Deano]

Ok

the guy doing the water jet cutting has the material and will cut it in the next week then 3 weeks for the CNC guy to do his thing.

this is assuming that everyone keeps to there service guarantees.

[Deano]

[Deano]

the following people are on the list for one.

Gix11

[Gsxar]

Thanks Deano, good timing to everything else should just about be done by then :)

hopefully not to long guys

[Rocket]

Shit hot Deano !!
I already got my timing cover and alternator cover chromed so will get the window cover done as well when it's finished.
I reckon it'll look pretty sweet.
Might be best to send it to me loosely put together.

[Deano]

just got the phone call.

all inserts are completed. Will be able to send out to those that have paid for just the insert in the next couple of days.

[Gsxar]

Big thanks to Deano:) Got my window today and it looks ace, cant wait to get it put in.

[Gix11]

Posting mine and shayno's down to you tomorrow Deano. Keep an eye out for 'em mate.

[Deano]

will do buddy

[joe.d]

Im interested in this, Ive checked out the exchange rate, and 230 bucks AUS is is just under 200 Canadian...

its for my gixer 1000 motor, so I guess it will be the smaller diamiter window , I will need,
I can get it welded in to my cover here, not sure of how much the shipping will cost, or wether ive actually missed the boat on these windows, let me know
Cheers
JOE

[ozkat]

One of the good things about the windowed clutch covers is that you can use a lock up clutch with very little or no mods to Deanos fine work.

[joe.d]

SO is Deano still doin them?

[Deano]

joe.

you got a PM

[Gix11]

Shit Deano, You weren't kidding mate! Those covers are a work of art! That's some of the best welding I've ever seen, and the fronts are seemless. Awesome work mate - much appreciated.

[Deano]

No probs mate glad you are happy with the end product

[ozkat]

Absolutley perfect Deano, a real work of art. Best windowed clutch covers ive ever seen.

[Rocket]

Mine's at the chromers now.
Should look shit hot once it's all done [8D]
If it doesn't, i'll de-chrome it and just polish it.

How does that Wide Mouth Frog joke go ?? "don't see many of them around do you?"

[ozkat]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/15796525065686.jpg Mine fitted, perfect Deano, Thankyou

[Deano]

that looks shit hot ozkat.

pic was more detailed once i put the sunnies on!

[JackTar]

Deano, sorry to jump on this so late but are you still doing these bad boys? I have an 87 1100

[Deano]

yeah mate got a couple left. let me know. it will pic you 87 1100 as long as it hasn't had a cable clutch conversion

[JackTar]

Mate just email me your bank details and the price including postage to Peakhurst NSW and I will put the money in.

[Deano]

You got email jack

[hooligan]

Got mine today, Deano. It's fuggin lovely. It's been at the post office for a while. Apparently they "forgot" to tell me.
Thanks.

[Deano]

thats a relief mate. thanks for letting me no. glad you are happy with it.

[Gsxar]

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/40240654448568.jpg
Finally got my window in ( still have to polish cover tho) wanted to be a little different:D What do u think?

style,ya gunna sandblast it on or airbrush it on?

[Gsxar]

I took it to the engravers and had it computer etched on the inside, Deano sent me 2 windows so I thought it was worth a try;)

[Gix11]

Ah Jo, always one step ahead aren't you? Looks like it's the ASF logo for me then......

[Rocket]

Jo that is the shit !!

Hands up all those who are looking for an engraver right now ?

[Deano]

awesome Jo great work.

[TurboKat]

You're a goddamn legend Jo, that looks shit hot. [:p]
When that thing of yours is finished, it's gunna look like this > [}:)]
& when people see it they're gunna do this > [:p]
& when you tell 'em you did it all yourself, they're gunna do this > [:0]

[Gsxar]

Haha u crack me up Turbo
Nah guys will still ask who was silly enuff to lend it to me lol
That is if I ever get it finished [V]

[Gix11]

Well, believe it or not, after 5 months I eventually got the cover on my bike Deano. Not a bad effort for me hey? It's on the new project but I thought you might like to have a look. It's covered in greasy hand prints but that's cause it went on 10 minutes ago. Here you go:

http://www.streetfighters.com.au/forum/upload/46553220481858.jpg

[TurboKat]

What's the new project Si? What's the new project Si? What's the new project Si? What's the new project Si? Tell us about the new project Si. Put up pics of the new project Si. [?][?][?][?][?] :D

[Gix11]

You already know what the new project is Darren! Now calm down. It's at no stage to be having photos taken just yet but I will put a few up sooner or later. By the way, did you get those cards or have you moved from that old address? If so, some lucky punter has a load of ASF cards.

[TurboKat]

Nup, haven't moved. Haven't got the cards either. ???

[Gix11]

Hmm. That sucks quite a large amount of pole then. I sent them down on Monday, but seeing as how you are in Mexico that might take a while, so hang in there.

[Deano]

that looks fucking great Si - top work

[TurboKat]

Ha! the cards just turned up in the post. They're pretty flash mate, too good to just hand out to people - I think I'll keep 'em all for myself. [:o)]

[Gix11]

At the Gold Coast bike show / mud festival they became mud scrapers so I wouldn't be treating them with too much respect mate. They're only cheap shitty ones but a bit better than the flimsy ones. The other ones are better for sticking on bikes, these go better on counters.

[Throwdown]

Hi Deano! Can you do these for a Hayabusa?

[Deano]

i beleive so but i don't no if the busa cover is alloy or magnesium. I got myself a gsxr1000 cover and thats mag so cant weld it so i have my suspisions about the busa cover.

if anyone knows then please shed some light on the material of a busa cover.

hey booster if you read this - did you lock up clutch access hatch get welded into you busa cover or is it a complete machined cover with the hatch in it.

[zx12argh]

If its anything like a 12r its magnesium so none for me either :(

Looks great - love your work!

[Funkenfresh]

is it possible to have one made for my cbr954??

[Throwdown]

I can get a billet after market cover. Can that be adapted?

[Booster]

Fully weldable Deano, your current machined parts should go in easily, i have a spare kicking around if you want to have a look.

Throwdown i thought you wern't into bling .

[Deano]

no need by the sound of it your original can be modified easily.

[Throwdown]

Booster: :DIt's the window I'm into, watching stuff happen that is usually tucked away - everything should be on show.

[Throwdown]

Deano: Read your post late. Would it be around the same cost already quoted, as I'm interested in getting it done. What State are you in?

[Rocket]

probably drunken

[Deano]

vic mate

[Throwdown]

Just looked back through the thread. $290 and a week for turnaround is a bargain. I'll be touch asap. I can be got at kamagloire@hotmail.com. Ta!

[Deano]

no problem let me no when you are ready
