Another clutch thread 3 Years, 8 Months ago  
Looks like I’ll be joining the Barnett Clutch club as well… Riding in to work today in 5th gear doing about 65ish and attempted to overtake a semi. Lots of noise not a lot of go… I have already contacted Tim at Metric Magic and he is hooking me up with the pressure plate, gasket, and oil pump gear for a great deal! Good customer service. I will order it next week and make a Saturday morning of it. I feel confident enough to do the job myself with the information that is on here. I love this place!

Re:Another clutch thread 3 Years, 8 Months ago  
I had a bunch of add ons so I decided to use half standard springs and half heavy duty. Definitely a heavier pull and kinda sucks in traffic but I didn't want to go back in there if the springs were to light. Someone on here did a mod where they used a bearing with a groove in the our race. Made a bracket to hold it on to the clutch arm on the case. Ran the clutch cable through and around the bearing and anchored it to the cable bracket. Made to where he said he could pull his clutch in with 1 finger.

+1, I also did half of the springs as the HD springs. very confident that it locks up now. Very happy with the performance.

Too bad we are all so far away. With everyone doing clutches we could have a clutch install part!

Check out this thread. 8 replies down by hardone2get and click on the easy clutch link. Looks like a cool idea.
