So I thought I would share my experience on fitting the Ducabike clutch cover along with the pressure plate and the spring retaining ring. It's relatively easy enough job but you will need a few special tools like a torque wrench and access to a hydraulic bench press.
The two most difficult parts of the job are swapping over the little shaft that's pressed into the pressure plate along with the bearing into the new one. Obviously you want to double check it's nice a square and slightly lubed before pressing it in and dont put too much pressure on it after its seated. Probably the other would be making sure the clutch plates stay put and are aligned properly before tightening the spring retaining ring up to the torque specs. You don't have to drop the engine oil for the job I just had my bike on a rear paddock stand.
I found Jaret Campisi's 959 build series on youtube very helpful his mechanic Dado is really good. He goes through the install step by step and offers very handy advice along the way. Definitely worth a watch if your considering fitting the Ducabike cover. As long as you take your time and make sure everything is torqued properly it is a very rewarding job and it looks awesome!
Sorry for the wrong orientation on the photos not sure how to rotate them but I'm sure you get the idea.
