[QUOTE="Howard, post: 45797, member: 271"] I wonder how a Vincent servo clutch would work on a modern Honda. I think it comes down to mismatching parts from various "clutch systems" - it's no use blaming the multiplate clutch if you've only got levers intended for a single plate clutch! I use a BSA A65 clutch, it runs dry instead of in oil, and it only lifts about half the distance it would on the donor bike. Obviously a useless piece of kit, nothing to do with the guy who fitted it. :) The fact is, when it's set up to lift squarely, and the plates have a squirt of oil on them (thanks to whoever it was that told me to do that), it's a reasonable clutch and some changes into first are very quiet. It also helps that I've spent years getting the last thou of lift possible, changing lever ratios and shortening the cable spacer. H [/QUOTE]
