Hi
Depends really if your running a cable or wanting it to be hydraulic? I am running a clutch cable on the original sprocket cover. I machined out a whole to suit the adapter for the prop. Looks and works a treat. You need the k6 cover that has the clutch lever sticking out the top

The k6 1000 is cable. The k7 1000 onwards are hyd I think. The 600/750s onwards are cable. Not sure if they fit the 1000. What year is your engine?

There's a k4 cover on eBay. That's a hyd cylinder type. The bolt holes look very similar to the k6 covers. If ya measure the hole centres on the 4 fixings on ur engine then I can compare to mine and see if there the same.

How do, I have measured the bolt centres. I would upload a diagram but I havent sussed how to do that yet so I will described it instead. Hopefully it's clear for ya. There's 4 bolts holding the cover on. Starting at the bolt closest to the gear selector (lowest bolt), call it bolt 1. Going clockwise the centres are:

1 to 2 is 81.5mm
2 to 3 is 91.6mm
3 to 4 is 72.5mm
4 to 1 is 178mm

Give or take a mm or 2

Hope this helps
