[QUOTE="AdrianV, post: 175351, member: 5690"] Hi Guys. A big Hello from me Adrian I have just become a member of the club and I have just bought a 1951 Vincent Comet to go with my membership. The bike is full of bells and whistles but now it dosen't go. The Comet was OK when I rode it back from the shop but now, less than 50 miles later I can't free off the clutch. I have taken the clutch plates out to see if I could find out why they were sticking and was a little surprised at what I found. The clutch drum is a late one, it has 5 bonded plates which I am busy filing off the burs and 6 plain plates, one thick which sits at the back of the drum and another thick one which sits under the spring plate, the other 4 very thin plates sit in-between the bonded plates. The thing is, these thin plates are not flat they are concave. Does this matter? And if it does can you tell me what the part number for these is so I can replace them. Many thanks. Adrian [/QUOTE]
