I get that Leon, I may get it done and not like how it feels. Know way to know until I try it.531blackbanshee wrote: i've been vocal about not being a fan of hyd.clutches in the past.it's down to the lack of feel for me,personal preference.
but as a machinist and fabricator i get into some stuff i wouldn't normally do for myself :whistle: .
i currently have one such case of modding a pmfr outboard support to use a
i had to slot the mounting holes on the slave and bore the hole open to match the slave body but it was a straightforward deal.
here you can see the slotting that had to happen.

Running good now. The bolt did not back out like I thought it did. I tightened the bolt so much that the disc ended up digging into the unit near the optical receiver. It shaved of a tiny bit of plastic and ended up covering up the optical reclever causing the ignition to stop working. I put a spacer in it and it's all good now. Over all I am happy with the bike. There will be a few tweets here and there but I am happy with it. I am really disappointed in the POR 15 engine paint, it is already changing color.

Well damn, I may have to just blast the paint off of it and leave it bare aluminum.

No, that is part of the problem also is it did not prepare it correctly so the paint is chipping. It should have been sand blasted but I did not want to split the cases at the time as I thought I was still going to make the Flag Rally in CO. I soda blasted it as I knew the soda is water soluble and wouldn't have to worry if some managed to get inside the cases.
