Camel, do we get progressive build pics?
Would be great to see this throughout the different stages of assembly.

Now that all the clutch parts have arrived I was able to put the back-up motor together. Not much, just new OEM steels and fibres, an MTC billet hub to get rid of that pesky BTL and that impressive clutch cover! Quick access is certainly going to save some time.

That is one sweet clutch cover! pitty the Gen 2 you dont see much of it with stock fairings as i would have one.
Keep us updated this is one great read

Will keep everyone posted. Was hoping to start this weekend but have to go to Phillip Island tomorrow night for some minor bike event they're having there.

The clutch cover is interesting, very simple sand casting, complete with porosity! Might try my hand at making something similar, got the gear for it.

by the gear you mean a mill? is it CNC or manual? Ive been toying with the idea of buying a cnc mill for years but keep pulling out of doing it for one reason or another. a bit off topic but id love to be able to make that sort of thing(not that i really have any need for it just something about making stuff makes sense to me)

Sand ???

[Camel]

By sand, do you mean that I have the gear for it? Hey I live in Western Australia, it's just one big sand dune! I haven't got a milling machine, let alone a CNC mill. I've got access to a milling machine but for this sort of casting I'd just use the shaper and the lathe. Shaper gives an awesome flat surface. Yeah. I love making stuff. Or stuff that makes stuff.

Or 'Sand???' as in its not billet? Yes. It's a rough sand cast. Has porosity too. Was almost tempted to fill a couple of holes to be on the safe side. They're okay though. You can also tell by the surfaces where it has been machined. No drama with sand casting, as long as you keep the temperatures consistent and account for shrinkage. Hey, look at Maico's!

Yeah Sand as in one big dune .
could cast it in the back yard ;)
