Might not need it but I WANT it lol. From what I understand the long rod puts much less stress on the piston and rod because of the gentler angle on the stroke. I did specify to Kevin that I wanted the long rod crank, I'm sure he will take care of me either way.

R ya goin big or what! The 4 mil will eat a clutcth bro. Get the lockout now, save some hassle down the road...

 

Yeah going with the 4mil. We make a little less hp up here and the heavy duty tusk kits seem to hold up good. Will go lockout of I have to though.

Well cylinders, crank, pingel, top end kit, pancake, reeds, etc on their way back from Kevin.

 

I want to give him a HUGE thank you for turning my motor around so fast. I'm glad we could work something out or I would have been screwed for memorial day riding haha!

 

I hope to have it back together and tuned this coming weekend.

 

Cost a pile, I just hope she runs good!

Greg, if you are going to climb that bike at all get a lockup. With your weight and that motor it will melt clutches bad in the climbs t walden with out one...

 

If you need swingarm I have a +6 too...

I'll definitely be climbing with it.

 

If the Tusk don't hold I'll do FZR plates with Barnett steels, don't really want to go to a lockout. Seems like it would be a lot harder to modulate the clutch in the technical stuff.

 

I'm probably going to go +4 on the swingarm, at the most, but I need a better rear shock before I do.

I have a 7mm done by kevin and I weigh 215ish. You dont need a lock up. I pulled a blaster out in glamis with Kevin on it. We were trying to get over a hill but there was no easy way around it so I just put it in either 2 or 3 and floored it. When my bike hit the power band damm we took off quick. I have a +6 swing arm too and the front tires were coming off the ground and I had to feather the throttle up the hill. I have the yahama street bike fibers and I think all 6 stiff springs. This clutch is 3 years old too when the bike was a 350cc. I only use the clutch to take off and when I come to a stop so the 6 springs is not and issue and I have gorrilla hands too.
