    Totally useless mod but it does look good...

    i recently installed a TLR clutch in my TLS,basically replaced the 5 spring with a 6 spring as comes standard in 99+ TLS,managed to buy a clear cover which looked ok but then went one step further and got a new pressure plate with anodized bolts and retainers,came out pretty good i reckon.

    Nice! How did you get your clear cover, did you make contact with someone in usa through tlzone?

    I like it. BTW - did the TLS come with a slipper clutch? And if not, does this mean you now have one?
    I told him,

    The TLS and TLR had back torque limiting features. Not a slipper clutch in the conventional sense but...

    The stock TL clutches have a mechanism on the shaft that consists of ramps below the hub and fingers on the spring-post base. Under sufficient forward torque, the fingers move on the ramps and the clutch spring base retracts, causing the preload on the springs to increase, tightening the pack. It does not tighten with RPM like a lock-up clutch, it tightens with forward torque. On the flip side it loosens upon back torque (deceleration) allowing the clutch to slip.

    yea brent b i got the cover from tlzone,there is two options...one of the members Rifleman will do them on an exchange basis were you send yours over and he will send one back hes already done,lots of options for fastners etc,other options are billet ones like mine although they cost more.the pressure plate was done by a member called vandriver but i think that was a one off thing...although it wouldnt be hard to polish your own pressure plate...i think he still has some bolts and retainers.

    Cheers BurnCycle. I was aware of that on the R (had one before the Aprilia and have seen the mechanism apart), but wasnt sure about the S - I was just being lazy as "slipper" is easier to write than "back torque limiting". Fk it, I've just written it anyway . . .

    looks mint man. Seen it done on ducati's before... always wondered if i could get one for the R6, but my clutch cover is hidden behind fairings so it would be kinda pointless.

    where opinion holds more weight than fact.

    It's better to not pass and know that you could have than to pass and find out that you can't. Wait for the straight.
