Don't eat my pants!!

i was reading some of the earlier posts and came across a few about the open clutch covers being a little hungry for shoe laces and pants legs

i have to admit that i do ride to work a lot of times...most of the time...with tennis shoes and levis. i haven't had a problem yet, but i figured: why tempt fate?

i put the stock clutch cover back on and am getting rid of the speedymoto 5 spoke. it cost a little over $200 w/ shipping, so i figured i would ask for half. $100 plus $5 to ship should be good. i've only had it for two weeks.

shouldn't be a problem for anyone that wears boots all of the time. that's just not me.

I bought a Paulimoto with less holes in it for that reason. I still ended up with a shredded boot lace!

if this one doesn't sell to someone on the forums, i might put it on my 996. it seems that the rearsets put my foot and leg in a better postition for an open clutch.

I've owned 3 Ducatis since 2002 with open or vented clutch covers. I had no idea this was even a problem. My usual attire for work are 501s and Doc Martens, or AlpineStars and Dianese for mountain or track work. I never new this was an issue...

I have Rizoma open cover on my MH900e but the rearsets are way back compared to the Tard so totally different ergos

As suggested by the last few posters, it's the ergo's / layout of the bike. No problems with open clutch covers on my MH900e or Sport1000, yet when I test rode the Hyper this spring, it was nibbling at my boots.
