It is also my submission for the sound that should replace the Buell Tacho and Tail of the Dragon pop-up ads. LOL /images/icons/laugh.gif/images/icons/wink.gif
LOOKS GOOD MAN!!! Take long to clean out the clutch? When I put my corse cover on, the thing was packed with dust...I pulled off the stock cover, and POOF...dust everywhere! Nice looking cover!
Sweet looking cover. It looks great on the bike. I've been debating not so much about getting one but which style to get. I love the one you have but also really dig one I saw on the motowheels website. Geez, you'd think it would be easy to blow all my retirement money.
Oh yea, how does it sound compared to the stock enclosed unit??

I hope that after I die, people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me a lot of money."
Oh no, kramrd...I'm not retired. LOL...I don't think I'll ever see that. I am too busy spending my future retirement money... Unless I hit Lotto, I'll probably be bagging groceries well into my 80's. I just hope I'll still be able to ride my Duc to work. (Who knows, I might impress some young cashier) /images/icons/tongue.gif

There wasn't alot of dust when I took the stock case off however there was a bunch caked onto the inside of the cover. Since I don't have compressed air at home I just grabbed the shop vac and a toothbrush and kinda went at it as best as I could. I figure whatever may still be in the assembly will blow out once I actually take her for a ride (hopefully tonight).
Pimmie, the cover was quoted to me at $90US but I was charged $113; I'll be making a phone call today. /images/icons/wink.gif I ordered the unit from http://www.teammcc.com out of Chicago. I'll be keeping an eye out for your pics of the tank cover.
JoBu, there are a good number of styles to choose from when it comes to the vented clutch covers...this was the one that stuck in my mind the most. If you remember my old post this cover was used on the Ducati 888. As for the noise...it's loud! /images/icons/laugh.gif The stock setup will allow you to hear the clutch rattle although it is very muted and the vented cover is a loud metallic rattle. I like the sound though. In fact, hearing the dry clutch rattle for 3 days straight at DRA really made me want to get one badly. /images/icons/smile.gif

I've heard you'll either love it as part of the Ducati experience or hate it.

My wife hates it. LOL /images/icons/laugh.gif
The attachment in my last initial posting doesn't work, please use the URL within the text body to see the video clip of the cover installed with the bike turned on.
I took my first ride with the new cover on last night...man does it sound cool! /images/icons/cool.gif It's really loud and I found myself turning off the bike at the lights if I wanted to talk to my friend but I don't care. He thinks it's sweet and it looks really nice on the bike against the yellow. I'll get some pics of the bike back together and post them soon.
My bike feels like a true Ducati now. /images/icons/wink.gif
Lookin' good, John! Can't wait to swing by your house this weekend and get mine installed. Ever since I heard George's SPS with the same clutch cover, I'd decided that once I got a Duc, it was getting one. See ya Saturday! /images/icons/smile.gif
