Nice. I can appreciate when mechanical systems are on display rather than hidden behind covers.

I had one on the grom, its dumb but i liked it. reminded me a bit of the clear bevel drive covers ducati used.

here's the ebay link.



hard racing and others sell a 'nicer' unit. thats what i had last time, it held up 'ok' but did have to reseal it 1 time.

I ran a clear wet clutch cover from Ducabike having seen it on many track bikes and show builds. Turned out it had junk lexan, fogged and yellowed after 2 oil changes. Found out that was a super common issue so I swapped it back to the stock cover. I don't expect you'll have that issue with the cam cover, but it was a disappointment spending money on a name brand "nice" one.

yeah, i didn't have that issue w the one on the grom, it stayed clear. i think the o ring was just a crappy one . I have seen that on banshee/rz ones though.

I have to admit, this is my favorite mod to see on other people's motorcycles. I don't know if Ducati still makes bikes like that, but there were even some exposed covers for Ducati's clutches that were cool AF to look at. I know it'd frustrate me to no end though 😂.

its on mine, so yes.. 100% the 21-22 for sure, same head as a grom all the way back to 2014. so anything for a grom or money will fit. finned valve covers, cam covers, etc. the 'new' engine w the oil fiter has what appears to have a different head, cant comment on what fits but the grom stuff 23-up will swap im sure.

My inner child loves... who am I kidding?
I love this sort of thing. Being able to see stuff that's usually hidden away is just so cool.
Spotted an old Desmo Ducati on Port Erin sea front last year. I waited till the guy finished his ice cream just so I could watch the cogs turn. Girlfriend wasn't best pleased.
