[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 45815, member: 597"] Just took a 51 Shadow with a V3 clutch installed for a test ride, and seemed to work fine. I put it into 2nd gear first, then back to 1st without any crunching. This particular bike had the early and very tall 1st gear ratio....takes a little slipping to get under way, but the torque of the engine combined with that ratio is quite something else...the lamp posts start gathering together rather quickly. I note on some of your comments about the multiplate clutch causing the handlebar lever to release the clutch with the lever almost at the end of the travel. This can only be caused by the long length of the G 91 lever in the kickstart cover being so long.....which again is a ratio issue. I think it could be made to work better, but would require some other form of opperating mechanism, perhaps from another make of bike. Need to keep it tidy and functional without destroying original parts. It may be something i will look at when building up our twin racer with a Newby belt/ clutch kit............Greg. [/QUOTE]
