Title: Husqvarna Clutch cover strengthening bracket
Post by: Twinshocker on February 09, 2010, 10:15:35 am
Having added in the later style extra mounting lug onto all of the clutch cases I make. I've been thinking of a way to utilise it on the earlier engines that don't have the the provision to use this extra mounting hole.

I've come up with a solution, I've made a aluminium bracket that bolts onto the earlier engine cases and then has a hole drilled and tapped into it so the extra mounting lug can be used.

Here are a few pics of the bracket fitted in development:

For anyone that has one of my mk2 cases or someone who has a later case fitted to an earlier bike this would be a great addition, especially if you have a 500 ;)

These cnc'd brackets are available over at hva-factory http://hva-factory.com/clutch-cover-bracket-p-131.html (http://"http://hva-factory.com/clutch-cover-bracket-p-131.html")

The kit is available at hva-factory for £19.99 (roughly $31)


Having said that though, they can be done yourself ;)

If your handy with that sort of thing then it's easy enough to make up some sort of bracket, although obviously not everyone has access to a cnc mill to get tapers and dimensions perfect etc.

I recommend using a good grade of aluminium, some decent drill bits, a drill bush and some decent taps.


Any questions or advice please ask!
