Default Clear Derby Cover?

I know I have seen them some where, but I can't fine them now...........Anyone have a link to someone who makes clear derby covers?

I'm thinking it would really cool to have a clear derby cover with a VPC installed.............being able to see the mechanics at work would be sweet.

Did you even try to Google "clear derby covers"? It took me like 10 seconds to find this.

I would think the oil would cloud the view of the moving parts when the bike is running.

Yeah, You would have to run a dry clutch and maybe an enclosed belt-drive, otherwise you would have oil splashing all over the inside.

I saw one in action at Pingles booth in Sturgis and it was cool. they had a VPC set up with wet clutch. sure oil splashed but that was all part of the coolness. As to the question why, because it is cool and different. I don't have one but then again I don't have any extra chrome doo dads either.
