Similar to the offer from 2014, I am starting another big run of parts. I need 15 people to commit to get this run going.
I will make a $5 VFRD site donation for each of the first 15 buyers to take advantage, plus FREE RETURN SHIPPING in the USA! (if you're outside the USA, I will mark down your total shipping by $23)
This offer covers all generations of VFR. If you are a VFR owner, the window can be made to fit your bike!
What I require to perform the mod is:
1. Your clutch cover, or a spare cover, shipped to me.
2. A total payment of $250 + return shipping charge (not applicable in this case), via PayPal.
Turn around time will be 1-2 weeks max, usually faster.
What you will need to do to complete the mod:
1. Ship your donor cover, or drop ship a donor cover via ebay/etc.
2. Make down payment
3. Make final payment when mod is complete
4. Paint or powdercoat the cover
5. Install with new gasket
As showcased in other threads, you may also paint or powdercoat your pressure plate to display the color of your choice.
Currently, I do not offer paint or powdercoat services, but I can help with some recommendations if needed. I am working on setting up media blast capability, which as a later option would aid a buyer in a DIY paint finish. More on that, at a later date.
At this time, I am making this reduced price offer only to active VFR owners, and only to the first 15 people to commit, but I will have more than 15 covers available soon at the normal pricing.
Feel free to send me a PM, but please make sure you post in this thread if interested, as I will use this thread for tracking purposes.

Interested! I've only had my VFR for about 6 months but I'm very active on the Hawk GT discussion forums and somewhat active on custom fighters. I messaged you via Facebook.
No doubt it's cool and the workmanship is impeccable but it's $322 plus shipping (so figure $400 total for round trip) and no riding for 2 weeks in prime riding season for this Canadian. But if I had the $$ and a spare cover I'd consider it.
I'm in. Have a spare cover ready to go, can ship as soon as you are able to accept. Also, have you set up the media blasting? I'd be happy to have the cover prepped for paint

@SEBSPEED
I have to agree that the timing could be better under normal circumstances.
I would be interested in having this done for my 1994 VFR 750F. However, I don't have a spare cover to send at the moment and I have rides planned into December. If I commit now and make a deposit can you do the work in December and honor the current offer?
Re: the timing... this offer is contingent upon the commitment of 15 interested parties. Unfortunately, I am unable to commision the machining of the parts without this support.
That being said, yes, I will be happy to take a deposit and work with your schedules. I am thankful, appreciative, and honored by the global support of my little product, and totally understand the need to be flexible with varying riding seasons.
If I get 15 interested people, who are willing to commit 50% down, then I will be able to make up the difference to get the parts machined and take care of those 15 people on their schedule.

My blaster is not up and running yet, but if you need it done, I will find a way.
I want to get the most out of the brief Canadian riding season as well, so I will be looking for someone in the US with a spare that can ship direct to Seb (probably close to break-even versus shipping from Canada).
Been talking about it for 2 seasons, and now that I did the DMr suspension last year, I have no excuses to hold off :)
I will need 50% payment once we have 15 people signed up.
Spare covers can be sent any time after that - Folks that do not have spares will be contacted once I have the machined parts in hand, to minimize down time.
My usual turn time is 1-2 weeks, but I have turned them in as little as 1 day when circumstances demand it.
Ordinarily this is the kind of thing I'd jump at. My clutch cover even has a few light scratches from a "fall over" and this would be a nice way to remove the cosmetic problem.
Unfortunately I'm riding daily right now...commuting to work on the bike while I can. I really can't crack the case and be without the bike for a couple of weeks.
If anyone has a spare cover I'd be interested in some horse trading so I could participate in this .

Finding a spare cover is the best way to minimize down time. However, please have a second look at my other replies to this thread. I am very flexible on when you send your cover.
Are there any other bikes that share the same clutch cover? I have looked a little and there aren't many out there. What is the going price for one. They seem to be about $125 to $150ish.
The good news is that you can buy a scratched/gouged one, which should keep the price down. I think the same cover is used by all RC46s, '98-'09, and I would expect that other bikes like the Crossrunner and 2014-on VFR that use the same VTEC engine would use the same clutch-sde cover.
Ciao,
