...The proper way
are you going to use the center locking bolt too?
...it's actually redundant now and will save weight too

No not going to use.
My opinion... the centre bolt is a bad way for securing the nut.
It’s always possible that the centre bolt will run loose.. and if that happens you lose your last line of defence..

This is what I did with the front sprocket cover.
From my humble opinion it isn’t strange that the old cover was broken on that part.
Looking from a mechanical perspective, the corner is too sharp.
A sharp corner gives more chance of cracks.
I leave there material in a large radius so that the forces can better run off.
At the down site there was material that had no function so I removed it.
At the inner site I removed also some material (see the arrows)
I did that to gain some access for the front sprocket.
Now I can remove the front sprocket without removing the cover.
And if I am right it’s now possible to change the sprockets without removing or swing forward the engine.
If I am wrong ,please tell me, maybe I am overlooking something.
This summer we will see if the cover will crack again or will crack on a different place.
Time will tell…

There was still some lateral movement on the clutch cylinder when I pulled the clutch lever.
To possibly prevent metal fatigue to the sprocket cover again I installed a bracket. See pic.
Now there is no movement visible. 
The bracket is T6 aluminium.

...The Suzuki design team created all those mounting points for a reason then the Bimota design team cut them all off
On the oil cooled, slingshot engine, we used a minimal, billet sprocket cover and that had a minimum of four mounting points.......
wonder if I could get one to fit on the water cooled engine?

Mine too, but if it was.. a really bad design.. than there were more complains about it on this forum.

Unfortunately No
It's for the earlier oil cooled engine but I'm assuming a similar design could be made for the water cooled engine. Four mounting points is definitely the way forward
I may have a look into a design this afternoon

Worst problem I've encountered is a weeping oil seal
Perhaps not such an issue

Maybe you have to be gentle when you are shifting gears…
If I’m not gentle to my wife she is also weeping …

It's not a Honda no point in being gentle you might miss a gear 
Stomp on it and crack the throttle wide open I say
