SEBSPEED Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 I would definitely buy Sebs... wouldn't even consider another brand. I still would like to know though... Are "windowed" clutch covers ok for track use or does tech inspection frown on them? I just bought a 5th gen spare engine and it has a rashed clutch cover and I'm looking to make a track bike. I don't know the answer to your question. However, I can make you a cover plate with an integrated slider that you can swap out for track use. I'd have to sit down and figure out the cost. I'm thinking it should be straightforward to make and therefore reasonable in price. Flat circle with bolt pattern and a delrin slider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Contributer Kel Posted November 11, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 11, 2013 Can't say where Thurn got the idea cause the idea's been out there. Seb does nice work but we can't cry fowl since there aren't too many ways to skin this cat. The idea is definitely not new, and I would never stop anyone from doing their own thing. I'm just saying that when I did mine, I had my own take on the design, and if someone wants to do their own thing, then make it your own! Couldn't agree more. My thought was merely, if you want a clear window on your clutch cover, it will need a ring fastened down with a series of bolts, not too many different ways to do that. Different number of holes perhaps or larger fasteners but sometimes, good design just gets replicated when like minds attempt something. What's nice in this situation is, you have a great following here so it's doubtful you'll lose out to any competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Q-Dawg Posted November 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 19, 2013 Wow. It is completely different, they used 18 bolts and Seb used 16. Night and day... The chemical bonding thing does sound different. Still, I prefer the look of a good tig weld, that's art right there imho. Yes, a good TIG weld is beauty for sure!

Member Contributer vfrAustin Posted November 19, 2013 Member Contributer Share Posted November 19, 2013 I definitely prefer Seb's exposed welds. That is why I like the wide Aluminum frames of the VFR and the YZF750 I use to have. You can see the build process in the welds. Beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Contributer Dutchy Posted January 13, 2014 Author Member Contributer Share Posted January 13, 2014 Gerhard made some change to his design this to give a bit more clearance with fairing panel (pic to come) So is this "different" enough to appease? Expected launch in March, same for final price. Just to be clear: I have NO interests/shares in Thurn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
