[QUOTE="greg brillus, post: 45934, member: 597"] Thanks Steve and Howard, This was the point i was trying to get across....simply that the multi plate design is fine and works very well, but when fitted to a Vincent twin, there are other things to consider that may at first not seem to be worthy of consideration. And not the normal things like travel and so on. I think if the outer basket/ chainwheel could be made to rotate with minimal wobble, then the clutch would perform much better. As for the lever ratio's, well thats an issue in itself....the G 91 lever is the biggest problem, as it is too long. If it were possable to shorten it, then the clutch would have more lift, but be much heavier as well.......Oh well, thats life in the fast lane...........Cheers and beers......Greg. [/QUOTE]
