please refer to the picture below with numbered parts to help me and other understand what you are talking about. I will do the same because im not sure of the exact names of certain parts. Thanks. The picture is all parts apart but are layed out how i assembled them in order.

Ok guys, ill try to make it short and sweet. I welded my ball to the rod a couple weeks ago. Stupid me goes put the same damage ball and pushrod back in there but i added a pancake bearing. Fast forward to a few days and the push rod gets welded to the clutch actuator. So i had to split the cases and get it out.

 

Fast forward to about an hour ago. I seen why my pancake bearing didnt work. It's suppose to spin freely and it doesnt spin at all. It has a very strong bind on it when assembled. When i tighten the nut(5), the whole assembly doesnt spin at all. It creates a bind. I understand maybe i can not tighten it down as much but how would i be able to adjust it right and keep it from backing out?

 

These are pictures of it assembled.

I got the cheap pancake bearing with just the pancake bearing and the washer(3) . I had it installed w/o the washer(3). But now i see it doesnt make a difference as far as i could tell. I know cascade makes a set up for $45ish but what i have should work. The only reason that it wouldnt is because maybe i have a lockup.

 

Can someone tell me what i am doing wrong? I can put it all back together like this but w/o that pancake bearing doing it's job, i will be back to welded things together. I do have an override so this is something i need.

 

On a side note, it's a pain in the butt to have to keep flipping the bike on it's side. Damn slingshot works like a charm but i never thought about having to keep flipping it on it's side everytime i wanna take the plate off.

The one from fast doesn't have #4. He should be able to set you straight.

The lip of my pancake (non-cascade) sticks out past the pressure plate. The outside nut tightens down to this. It all just kinda floats between the pressure plate and the basket. Your PART 1, does not seem to be long enough to stick out. The nut is tightening against the plate itself.

have you tried putting it together without washer #4

#5 has to tighten up against #1 to lock the adjuster in place. It looks like you are sandwiching the lockup in there and that is why the bearing cant spin.

The lockup/pressureplate should only be held on by the screws and springs

I would have to drill the hex out of that slingshot in the middle of 3 and 4 and not use that #4 washer. But Vito's left me a voicemail and told me their thrust bearing kit will work and solve the problem w/o modifying anything.

 

It looks identical to cascade's so i ordered one a few mins ago. Thanks to everyone who looked! I cant wait to beat the hell out of this bike next week when she is all done
