While these look to be a nice cover, they are $652 AUD at today's exchange rate.

How much would yours be once finished Russell?

I would much rather support Aussie businesses than send the money overseas, I don't know what the quality of their clutch cover is but it would want to be better than their plastics! Although I doubt they manufacture these, probably made by someone else and sold by DC.

The product you refer to on the DC plastics site is manufactured in the UK for or by HVA factory products and is of the highest quality.

Sorry, I didn't realise they were HVA covers, and yes they are very high quality.
I have come to think of DC products as second rate which may or may not be a fair assumption, but in some cases deserved.

Sounds great Russell! There are lots of rotted magnesium covers on water cooled Husky's around the world, and with our exchange rate they should be very attractive to overseas buyers.
Does that include the later '84-89 covers?

Kdx 175 - Your work looks fantastic. Would you consider doing some custom one-off work?

Works clutch cover for a 1971 YZ125. Project won't start until 2016 so I'll contact you then and see if you're interested.

Yes very rare and very trick, serial number YZ627-B-01 making it the first YZ125 ever made. Weighs less than 150 lbs. This particular bike was in the first batch of bikes given to Torsten Hallman in the spring of 1971 when he was hired to develop the works Yamaha YZ into world class bikes. Torsten sponsored Swede Tommy Jansson on this bike and he won the 125 Swedish Championship with it.
