Stator see through cover

[Djairouks]

I'm wondering after seing a lot of new vintage bikes around the net with those
see through cover around the stator if anyone made or found anything fitting on a
GS 550 preferably or compatible model.

I find that very sexy if your stator is good looking on the inside !

Pervert!

I've seen the see through points cover on Ebay a few times (Ebay.de I think) but never a stator cover.

not seen a stator cover "windowed" as the windings usually bolt to the cover itself. did my own LED lit conversion on the ignition cover.....

Timing Cover

With a little guidance from Agemax, I too have a "windowed" timing cover.


The LED's are wired up, yet to go in though.

I would think on our GS's it may be a little tricky to do a stator window. One would definately have to use a high temp plastic, maybe 1/4" polycarbonate would work? I believe it is rated for 250-275 degrees?

I'm new to the old motorcycle work and not the mecanics expert, the stator is located
where DOHC is written right ?

Next to your left foot..as you're sitting on the bike.

Well in fact I found that it's more the clutch cover than the stator cover that is in fact
transparant.



Sorry I'm still learning the english words as I work around the parts !

The stator cover wouldn't be all that interesting anyway -- it would be a tiny window because there's not much room, and all you'd see is the bolt in the center of the rotor spinning around.

The clutch cover would be a lot more interesting. May GS models have the clutch release mechanism as part of the cover, so you wouldn't be able to put a large window in these.

Okay so bad idea to summarize, too much effort for nothing !

Thanks for the info, I like this forum a lot !

looking good there Mac, get those led's in

Fun with LED's

looking good there Mac, get those led's in

It's on the list for when I finish the electrical, so a week or so away.

I think you will be pleased, 6 led's staggered around the window. I may go 12 if it doesn't light up enough, but I think 6 should do the trick.
