[QUOTE="Big Sid, post: 39059, member: 2781"] I never found this condition to my memory . It seemed to me that the shifted wheels came first . As for clutch drums I never found them a balance problem tho I dragged with the Vincent clutch for years , turning to 7,500 rpm . Very smooth if there was no detonation . Won a closet full of trophys . I used one of those lightened BL drums and also turned off every other rib beginning just after the first rib . I did dress all the edges of those backside releafs , especially the cuts that entered the inside friction surface , a very sharp change in direction there promoted stress . Never had a drum fail . Used a ball race thrust bearing in the outer pressure plate and a cut down VW inlet valve as a pusher . Totally reliable . Sid . [/QUOTE]
