450 viewsHere's my 2006 Ducati Sport Classic 1000, monoposto (single seat), with the stock dry clutch cover.

449 viewsHere's the replacement cover, a Rizoma unit. All you need is a 5mm Allen wrench. Not pictured, but still needed, is some blue Loctite.

509 viewsThe four bolts are removed and the cover is on the ground (it's resting on a foam Frisbee). Notice that the bolts are different lengths so make sure you put them back in the same holes. You can also see the clutch dust in the cover and on the exhaust pipe.

527 viewsThere are spacers in the gasket and they may come out with the bolt. No big deal, simply pull the spacer off the bolt and put it back into the gasket.

488 viewsPut some blue Loctite on the bolt threads and snug the new cover back on. No need to be a gorilla and wrench down! The blue Loctite will insure the bolts don't back out. Here it is, installed.

623 viewsClose-up. The body is metal, the clear cover is a thin plastic material (thin and flexible) and those four forward slots you see are openings.
The sound of the clutch is now quite audible! The stock clutch cover does a good job at keeping the clutch noise down. If you don't like the dry clutch "music" then keep the stock clutch cover on the bike.
