410 610 570 trans cover fracture

Guys, when performing the upgrades on my ’00 410 the last week or two, ran into this below. It’s a hairline fracture above the oil fill window, to the left some. There was just some very small traces of oil residue (wiped off now), but that simply means it’s just a matter of time likely before it gets worse I’d imagine.

The factory must have over torqued it or something….bike has less than 14 hours on it and I know for a fact it’s never had anything pressed up against it to damage it. Oh well.

Question is, other than trying to get one of the stock replacements, does anyone still know if someone still makes one of the billet covers I use to see in the past on some 610’s and 570’s?

I’d rather go this route now for strength and durability.


Hope you guys have a source! Thanks, Ryan

Husky sell them I got a new one for mine as they don't have a window now! Only a small screw which is the fill level

Thanks Andy...yeah, they're like 160 bones, so it's a good backup plan. I think the org cover was $90, haha, as you mentioned the superseded one has no window and cost way more! lol

Now, anyone know where those billet units are??

There loads less than that! There's one on eBay now for 70 item number 121623505103

Thanks Andy for showing me!

Good news: George is making me one right now....! Fresh off the billet machine, haha!

Cool! I've tried for ages to get nice billet or alloy bits for mine but you can't seem to get anything for the left kick engine! Not even an oil filler cap

You know, I hear ya, but sometimes George will just make something again, from the past, or now in the present. If you need something for that bike, and he's done it before, he can do it again. Only time and money.

Bill's still lists them for $124.95.

Sweet cover Don! Me likey! Great price too! Is that George's or their own brew of covers?

Just below the cover, it mentions it's been out of stock since last Jan, wonder if that's still true.

Thanks Don!

I've never seen one in person, looks a bit different than George's. They had them listed on Ebay quite a while back, hopefully they're still available.

George's is excellent though and holds a little more oil than stock.

Sweet, yes, he did say something along those lines, nothing wrong with a little more oil. I paid a few more bucks than I wanted for it, but then again, pretty amazing customer service and I'll never have to deal with it again.
