Are 5th and 6th-gen clutch covers interchangeable?

    So I did a stupid thing today and lowsided my bike on an off-ramp. It starts and runs just fine, but the right side fairing is rashed all to hell, and the engine case/clutch cover was ground down to the point where there's oil seeping out of it. I was wondering if the cover from a 6th-gen would fit, or if I'm stuck having to find one for a 5th? Photo attached for reference.

    Oh, and I'm mostly OK. Small circle of road rash on my knee, but my gear did its job.

    Yes.

    They have the exact same part number. 11330-MW4-020

    Sorry to hear that you biffed.

    This would be a golden opportunity to get a clear cover conversion!

    The price is a little prohibitive with the cost of a new fairing, clutch cover, and a few other broken parts considered, but I'm going to keep the crashed cover and have that done in the future. I saw a 5th-gen with the clear cover last time I went to the Tail of the Dragon, and it looks awesome.
