The first person to make '84 Honda CR250 clutch covers in aluminium will be very popular...


The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Make a batch of YZ360A clutch covers and you'll make the first months wages. They would sell all over the world. At a reasonable  price I'd take 2.

Also any for those fancy heads that Firko has stashed away would be nice.

And Nathans right. Honda side covers out of Aluminium and there is your second months pay.

Very interesting. You need to build a portfolio demonstrating your workmanship.

Making repro DG, WEBCO, NOGUCHI?? "Firko to correct"  ;) style heads would surely be a winner for dollar spinning thats for sure! As far as i know though the DG's at least started out as length of extrusion and cut to size, then machined specifically for particular fitment??? Obviously making 1 by 1 would involve a helluva lot more work but even so it's still likely to be well worth the effort.
