While we have a clutch thread going, and since the original question seems to be pretty well answered,
I hope it won't be a hijack that I have a related but different question.
I just finished putting on the hydraulic clutch conversion on my LowRider, and I really do like it.
Not that the previous clutch action was any big strain, I just liked the idea of there being NO friction,
the needlessly thick cable looked clunky next to another slim hydraulic line,
and I looks of the the V-Rod's symmetrical grips, with the same but reveres image hydraulic reservoirs on both sides, brake and clutch.
Long ago I had the 95" kit put in and that comes with a heavier spring, so my clutch should be at least a little bit stiffer than stock. It's not the race clutch, still just the spring steel plate with fingers, prolly thicker.
But when I have run the bike hard a few times and shifted hard, I thought I felt the clutch slip a little. So now that I've got reduced grip effort, I'm wanting to bump up the pressure a bit more. Are there several different thicknesses of clutch spring plate available?
I don't really want to go Barnett and the race clutch won't work with the hydraulic clutch kit.
Turns out there are two different action rods available for this hydraulic clutch kit. The one for the 6 speed tranny is a bit less than 1/4 inch longer than the one for the 5 speed tranny, which is right for my bike. So, if I found a slightly thicker clutch disk,or even if I used 2 of the softer ones on top of each other, I could probably accommodate the thicker stack of clutch plates and disks, provided an extra 1/4 inch wouldn't hit the outer primary case.
Any thoughts? I don't race or abuse the clutch now, but the Eagle Parts book's dyno chart says I should have about 90 ft/lbs now, and one of the reasons I don't run it is because I think I know the clutch won't take it for long.
