I have seen that. But no detail on how you cut it?
Used a dremel cutoff wheel to rough shape. Then used sandpaper rolls to finish. |

I stripped the paint then used a sharpie to draw the pattern.

Being Magnesium and all, no random fires?
Thats my concern. Just cut in an open area. Its the shavings that could pose a problem. I dont think this piece poses trouble. |
I used an air cut off wheel, then a flap disc wheel to shape it. You can see pictures on my build thread.
Pretty simple. I powdercoated mine in the end. You'll most likely need a new gasket. James |
I've always wondered why people do it. I know it looks cool but it seems like your opening it up to a lot of dirt and crap entering the area.
I guess on the flip side it makes it a lot easier to clean around the front sprocket. Maybe because if the location it isnt easily hit by debri |
That modified cover looks awesome but that area usually looks nasty on my bikes. For you guys that can keep it clean super sweet mod

Yes, mine was super nasty because you just can't clean under there. Now with the mod it is always spotless, because i can access it.

Nice. Will be a next weekend job.
Another reason for this is i want to mount my Scott Oiler to go to the back of my front sprocket. Tidy and doesnt get messed up when changing wheels. |

Looks a lot cleaner today, different sprocket & chain, but the cover is the same.

Then I realized no way. How on earth would I remember the shift sequence without this? Kind of hard to see while riding but still.... |
