Are the cracks in the crankcase area, or the clutch cover only? If it is only n the clutch cover, that is not to difficult to find a replacement for.Life is what happens while your planning everything else!
When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

Yep, I've had to replace a shifter cover and an oil pan due to metal fatigue cracks. That clutch cover is a dime a dozen and they're cheap on eBay. There has to be at least 40 of 'em listed right now starting at $10. If your cracks are on the top, chances are that it isn't leaking very much, if at all.Last edited by bikerphil; 06-09-2010, 07:26 PM.2H7 (79)

Probably an easy weld also if you have a buddy thats good with the MIG. Probably easier to just buy a new one.
