Kz 750 road racer , dry clutch project was created by richard
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

Here is a close up shot of the dry clutch set up on the factory GPz750 Kawasaki that Mr. Muzzy put together back in 1983.

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
