Kz 750 road racer , dry clutch project
02 Jan 2021 20:18
Built this road racer a few years back
As a challenge , it's been competitive
Now I've decided to go down the rabbit hole
And build a dry clutch
Took lots of pics on the build over the last month,not tooting my horn yet because
Only 75% complete,but looks promising

It would be interesting to see how you did that.

Looks like fun. Are those two different paint jobs, or are the stripes different colors on different sides? Also, what's that gizmo with the tube coming out of it located where the starter motor used to be?

This shows how the Ducati cast iron cush drive was made into a different design
Using aluminum,the original Kawasaki clutch basket spline was removed from the cast alum basket and pressed into the newly fabricated billet cush drive
