[QUOTE="Tom Gaynor, post: 7666, member: 4034"] [b]Non-Vincent clutches[/b] My bike had a "Dolphin Motors Conversion" which was a Triumph clutch. Unfortunately fitting it meant milling away the clutch housing, so my options are to run wet, or wet, which means a return to original isn't possible. Or at least requires far more work than I'm prepared to put in for something no one can see.... The 'umph clutch wasn't really up to it, even with an extra plate and new springs. I suspect it wasn't that it couldn't take the power: it couldn't take the torque! However, thanks to an Oz product called new miracle NealVidean, I now have a Shadow that goes like a Shadow, with a clutch that I've stopped thinking about. The only problem I ever had with the PV3 was that it was a ****** to free off before starting, and that seems now to have cured itself. [/QUOTE]
