Im the first pic you can see where I had ended up with the
front fender. I don't like front fenders, and if I have to have
one I want it as small as possible. So it will fit in my saddlebag,
haha, and I can use it only when necessary! Back to the first
pic, still too wide and too far above the tire..
I kept removing bits and welding it back together untill
it was about the size of one of my Vans. Better! Now all that
is left is to reshape the contour a bit and stick it in the
sidebag!
Clutch time! This bike still had the stock clutch
and I decided to upgrade to an RiveraPrimo Pro clutch. I use this
clutch on my old Electraglide and like it a lot. It replaces the
loose rollers with 2 sealed bearings to there is no more runout,
and the 10 little springs are replaced by one diaphragm spring.
Oh, and there is much more friction area.
Well obviously I needed to remove the stock clutch
first, the only part that is reused is the clutch basket (which
is one piece with the rear pully of the primary belt in this case).The
new bearing comes as a "casette" that bolts into the
clutch basket. It was an easy swap but when starting the bike
there was a loud screeching noise coming from the primary!
After removing the outer primary the source of
the noise was easily found and 5 minutes in the lathe fixed it.
All back together and working fine now!
