Clutch Porn ?

[m1keyp]

I went to the Milan Motorcycle show (Highly recommended)

And found this little gem, an STM slipper clutch for the GS LC, the engine casing is machined from billet and looks awesome.

No idea of the price (and you probably don't want to know

wow! that looks the business..needs polished Ti Bolts to finish it off

Slipper clutch - why?

Slipper clutch - why?

Why not , its a quality item , I know its got one but the STM is a great bit of kit , used them on my Super Duke R .

Why they didnt fit a wet clutch beats me

designed to be slipped

No, no, no, it's an anti-hopping clutch...

 

[Wreford Miles]

...some would look at that and think “that glass looks like a potential fail point on my adventure bike”

 

[Mr Bean]

No, no, no, it's an anti-hopping clutch...

What's the difference?

And it certainly wouldn’t be the first sight glass to sprout a leak would it?

I'm interested to know too as in my book they are for all intents and purposes the same thing

My opinion on the OP; that looks beyond tacky. If I saw one on somebody's bike I wouldn't be able to stop laughing (especially if they told me the price)

I love to see the carbon fibre open type baskets on dry clutch bikes and was looking for a carbon clutch cover for the Hyper but as it is a wet slipper anything decent is plenty of money for no real cosmetic effect

I actually like the one in the OP but wouldn't spend the cash

Er, there isn't. It was supposed be irony... :

Wet clutches are meant to be slipped - so why put a cover on it and call it something else

I could understand it if it was a dry clutch like a Duke, but a wet clutch, watch the window steam up lol

My first thoughts were wet clutch , but then i wondered why the sight glass, so i thought dry clutch??

Er, there isn't. It was supposed be irony... :

Aah, far too subtle for me.

Nothing but the name
