    i love those conversions.. wouldn't quite buy a TL just to do that, but if I had a TL, I'd do that

    Do the TLs run a dry clutch then?

    no the TL runs a wet clutch hence the need for perspex window,things would get a bit messy without it.

    when you start the bike up if it hasnt been running for awhile the window fogs up with condensation...once motor is hot it just goes clear again.

    Hey, just like my gas fire!

    Do you know if it's simply a round piece of perspex? I mean, if it discolours over time, is it simply a matter of getting another round bit?

    Same side cover as an sv? That'd look quite mint

    havent heard of any being changed because of discolouring but a few guys have dropped there bikes and replaced the perspex..if thats indeed what it is,i am just guessing its perspex as it feels plastic like.as far as the sidecover being the same i am not to sure although at a guess would say yes,i can find out about that and what the clear bit is made of it just might take a while as i am doing the horrid 12 hour nightshift for the next 4 nights,i will get back to you on both.

    Mulford plastics here in Chch have a piece of perspex they've shot rifle rounds into, so I'm guessing that it's more than strong enough (yeah ok, there's heaps of grades). They also have some lime green stuff... would look pretty good against your body work Lime green only comes in 3mm, and although it's a cell cast acrylic, it would be a bit weak I suspect. However, you could either bond it to another piece (of stronger clear), or bond it to the inside of your current bit. With the right glue (they have it), the two bits become one

    good thinking about the colored plastic but i went to heaps of trouble to get the new pressure plate polished and it looks pretty good,bit reluctant to hide it with the colored perspex although i agree it would look pretty good.

    did a bit of research mate,no go the cover is totally different,the TL one is removable from the main cover and the SVs seems to be a one piece....seems strange as it would be a pain in the arse to do simple things ie clutch springs etc.
