    Stator see through cover

    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 !

      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 ?

                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.

                        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.
