Need pics of engine side cover drilled for custom look????

[jimmy5090]

I have seen a couple pics of a custom engine cover (left side) drillled and now I am ready to do it and was looking for some ideas. I cant find the pics. Does anyone have any pics of this? I think Hugh did it to his rear drum brake on his bike. Thanks

I did some custom drilling of my LH an alternator covers, not sure if it is what you are looking for though.

Just what I was looking for. Looks good man. The small cover almost looks like you rounded the lips of the holes? How did you do that? Any pics of the second photo finished? Thanks

For some reason, that hole thing doesn't work as well on the right side cover.......

Screw the holes. I want to see people who have cut full on custom shapes. I remember seeing a few of these but I cannot find pictures for the life of me. Saw one of a 3 leaf clover and one that was a spade (like the ace of spades).

i did mine in front of the drive sprocket and also trimmed off the extra on the rear of the cover.. gives it a cleaner look

Can you post some pics? Need lots of ideas.

Aprilia slave- this is a direct acting clutch setup. There are a number of threads on how to use this setup best is "good heart bad intentions another build"
My clutch is now flawless
