3 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 Ok, i am going to play with gearing a bit and i was thinkng about cutting my side cover to make things simplier. I was woundering if there is any problems if i cut all around it and cut the bottom part where the shifter shaft go trought the cover. Is it going to put more leverage on the shaft or not? Because when i look at it it seems that the hole in the cover doesnt event touch the shaft it doesnt look like it is supported at all. Let me know if you see any problems or if you have done it like that thanks Quote

3 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Posted March 4, 2007 I know but i was more concerned about the shaft support, does the aftermarket cover provide support or just a hole in the cover? Quote
fastbanshee8 Posted March 4, 2007 Report Posted March 4, 2007 I know but i was more concerned about the shaft support, does the aftermarket cover provide support or just a hole in the cover? I have a polished aluminum cover, and there's just a hole for the shift shaft to go through. It doesn't support the shaft at all, and neither does the stock cover. Quote
3 Posted March 4, 2007 Author Report Posted March 4, 2007 Alright guys thats what i was thinking, thanks for the quick reply. Im going back in the garage ! Quote
csrmel Posted March 5, 2007 Report Posted March 5, 2007 just cut a slot into the plastic with a hacksaw so you can remove the cover without pulling off the footpeg and shifter. Quote
3 Posted March 6, 2007 Author Report Posted March 6, 2007 What i did is cut all the fins, keep the bottom part with the hole in it but cut it from the whole cover. I will see how it works, i kept the bottom part just i case i land hard with my foot on the shifter. It think its pretty much like what you said. Quote
