[QUOTE="davidd, post: 88553, member: 1177"] I am a little more effusive. It is one of those products that is much better than its hype. I asked Bob Newby about the starting technique and he replied "rev it to 6000 and slip it until the lever is all the way out." I did that for 7 years at every race and except for some blue spots, the plates look like they were new. The primary cover can be a simple aluminum flat top and sides. I chose fiberglass because I wanted to make spares. [ATTACH=full]17969[/ATTACH] This is a copy of an aluminum cover. The top with cut outs and straight sides. [ATTACH=full]17970[/ATTACH] This is a later version with a double D logo on it. I had not heat problems with the clutch and I wanted more protection for the clutch at Bonneville. I made it a little taller around the clutch for the lifter mechanism. The hole is there so you can stick a finger in and check the belt tension. [ATTACH=full]17971[/ATTACH] Finally, this one can bolt onto a flat plate or the stock inner primary plate. I take it you have an inner primary plate as you have not mentioned needing one?
