No. Its a wet clutch. Not available on 600, 620, 695, 696, 750, 796, 800, 848, Multi1200 or any recent SportClassic DS1000.

A person could do quite a bit of work to switch it to a dry clutch system if one was so inclined. But its a big scale modification.

figured as much, thanks!!

one less thing to spend money on I guess, lol

Another picture of mine.  This time with the spider ring added.  Supposedly this helps keep the springs in place at high RPM.  Has anybody ever used one of these?

I've read about them for years. That design and the ring shaped one from TPO.

I don't buy it. You screw the bolts in until the spring keepers / spider thing bottoms out on the hub posts. The springs can't move any further that direction with either standard spring keeper cups or the spider thing. The movable side is the pressure plate which is already a single piece.

Now tying the posts together for rigidity, well, I just don't think its flexing... But perhaps this could help protect the posts in a crash by tying them?

I do think they look nice, but I don't find them appealing for any technical reason.

I bought mine at my shop, so I didn't know what it was called.  It's called a clutch stabilizer ring.  I just looked it up on the MonsterParts site.

The retainer should keep a spring from catching your clutch cover should the bolt loosen up.  I put a retainer on after that happened to me and cost me a new clutch hub.   

I'm not a showy person. So i've decided to keep it simple. you can't see the pressure plate, but there's the clutch cover.

I actually went the exact same route with mine!!

aah crap someone noticed.

Slightly off topic...I would say that bike is an '09 696 based on the silver heat shield (the '10s are black..) but the rear part of the frame is aluminum colored on yours...mine is powdercoated black...I thought they all were...

Nicely done, Travman.  I really like how the clutch/cover goes together with the rest of the bike.  The painted stock plate looks fine, too.
