I wouldn't know how to do it, neither have the tools.
Some of you guys have the skills, so I'm asking for help.
What I have imagined is a black aluminium or CF slotted plate which I can glue on the large grey circular area. It will probably fall off eventually, so it might be an idea to get more than one. Maybe other wet clutch riders will want one also?

Are you up for it? (I just scribbled something on there to point out where I'm seeing it attached)

How about these, you a set of four for $29 US dollars. When one falls off just slap on a new one.

I can probably mail you a few printouts of the picture you attached so you can cut and paste them on your bike.  I'll enlarge them so the cut matches the clutch diameter.

That's not on the picture - it must be your kid playing with a Sharpie on your screen

OR, you can just buy an S2R1000.

I want to cover my wound, not have you pour salt in it

A couple of options:

1) The wall thickness will allow you to carve 1/64th into the cover to do some offset design within the casting itself. (then you can paint or leave "as is")
2) Remove and then machine the face to open it up.  Weld a flange on the edge and then use lucite to make a window into the clutch area.
3) Create an external design like you mentioned and then carefully mark where the locating points are on the side case cover.  Carefully strip the paint to get to bare aluminum.  Use one of the high-tech aluminum bonding agents to bond your external design to the aluminum of the side case cover.
4) Just use enamel paints ala cloisonne pin paint and then layout your pattern and mildly low-temp fire to bond to the aluminum.
5) Remove the cover and drill mounting holes for your external design.  Use a bolt with a countersunk edge (and silicon to seal) to hold the external design to the side case cover.

I modified a stock wetclutch sidecase cover with a "windowed port" months ago.  Interesting idea to be honest.  I was looking at casting a few up in aluminum and using either a clear plexiglass window or a machined CNC insert with rubbers seals.  Everything looked good and worked with a modified factory sidecase cover.  Problem was cost to manufacture would require casting a new part -- it would have cost $34K to CMM, replicate the internal oil line setup, carve the steel molds for casting and a few other costs.  Once a casting would be produced, it would require CNC machining to cleanup a few mating surfaces to my standards for each part cast and produced.  The business plan for the part just made it financially unfeasible to continue forward with the product.  I really doubt there is a demand for a $800-1000 part for a wet clutch Ducati just to make the side case cover "prettier". 

I was thinking of this idea before as well it was going to be my winter project. Since I can't really make an acurate mold to make a peice that would fit over i thought taking one of these http://www.monsterparts.com/pc/ZU-C016BD7/Bodywork-Carbon/ZU-C016BD7.html (or simmilar) cutting it and making it slightly bigger to fit over attatched with doublesided tape. Does anyone know it the wet clutch and dry clutch coverings should be the same?

Mark: that's too bad, but understandable - I was looking forward to your window'ed cover. $1k = not a market.

finally. i was thinking this really isnt a needed mod or even a functional one. now if the whole casing were replace with say magnesium... now that's cool. but a carbon cover on top of the metal? whats' the point?

Isn't this forum about "accesories and mods" or is it called "functional accesories and mods"   I see nothing wrong w/adding bling to a bike...to bad stopintime didn't want my printouts...they would have been in color.

i agree certain mods/bling add to the look of the bike. but this one (the CF cover) would look like just that- a cover. it's like those cars that take the CF looking tape and put it on their dashes.
