From o0norton0o, "When I look at your pictures, it looks like you are missing your clutch diaphram mechanism as well as the outer case cover. You'll notice that many of the used outer case covers you see for sale on ebay have a mark on them where the bike fell over and the footrest bolt poked the outer cover.... Mine has a mark there for 40+ years. I don't let it bother me because I'm more of a mechanically correct guy than a pin perfect restoration type guy... But you should be aware that most of the used covers have that blemish and of course a new cover does not. (so don't pay a lot of money for a used cover if it has a blemish"To lessen the chance of marking you cover with a tip over, there is a bit of a change you can do to the foot rest.Take off the nut. pull the footrest peg. put a jam nut on the peg then screw it back in. Figure out how much you need to support the rubber, then tighten the jam nut up against the foot rest hanger. Come in with a hack saw blade to mark what is hanging out between the foot rest hanger and primary cover. Remove the peg, leaving the jam nut on it. Cut the excess off at where you marked it previously. File a chamfer on to the cut off end. Now turn the nut off. It will clean out any minor burrs. Nut back on. Peg on and nut tightened. This will give you at least a half inch more room between the foot rest hanger and the primary cover, in the event of another tip over.
