Clutch fitting problem
My friend and I are building a TL1000 engine GTS W7DE and have hit a potential problem and wondered if anyone had any ideas on what to do, or if
anyone had done similar.....
the clutch assy runs pretty much through the center of the prop making use of the origional MCyl a no go. it may possibly just turn 180 degrees and a
few bracket tweeks may mean its usable but the clearance would be minimal...i.e 1/2mm ish. has anyone any ideas or pictures of something they have
dont to get around this?
i thought about a mechanical rocker device or similar but hyraulic would be my preference

First off.. welcome to the mad house!
I'm not that familiar with the engine so might not be able to help but what does this mean?
"the clutch assy runs pretty much through the center of the prop..."

hi arian, thanks for welcoming me to the mad house!
the meaning of the above is basically....
if you fit the prop the clutch mcyl doesnt fit. it would need to be about 2" inside the prop its self. if you imagine the chain and final drive
on the bike would have run behind the mcyl assembly and gone to the rear sprocket. as its now coming straight out this is now the problem.
have i made it make sense of just confused you further....its quite a hard one to put into words other than its right in the f ing way!

"...its right in the f ing way!"
Thats more understandable. Don't know the answer (as expected)...so I'd set about it with a hammer.

that duke one is a cheeky little blighter. i might buy one and frame it rather than fit it.

The Aprilia RSV one isn't too dissimilar either!
