Author Message   Thylacine Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 10:49 am:        is or has anyone run one of these? I believe it will be my next mod.   Guell Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 11:11 am:        who makes it?   Natexlh1000 Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 11:58 am:        How do you get at the tranny juice? The original fill/drain are located in the primary.   Thylacine Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 11:59 am:        The company is called NH power. They are out of Germany.   Thylacine Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 12:01 pm:        Drill some holes?   Eshardball Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 12:09 pm:        Oh my god, does that look trick. Fireman Jim has a dry belt drive on a Bonneville motor that he built but its a monster. What do they get for that?   Natexlh1000 Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 12:23 pm:        >"Drill some holes?" LOL. 1) Drill hole 2) Let juice out 3) Flip bike over on rotiserie 4) Fill with gear lube 5) TIG weld hole in case 6) Put bike back upright and you're done!   Azrael_cervale Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 07:42 pm:        Nice stuff but I'd have to redo my shifter mount. http://www.harleycustom.com/Prod-NH_Power_-_Parts_ for_Harley_Davidson-16-375.html   Littlebuggles Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 09:00 pm:        I've never seen that. It's NEAT!!!   Ft_bstrd Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 09:13 pm:        I would still love to know how the primary fluid is held and how it's managed.   Andymnelson Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 09:39 pm:        quote: I would still love to know how the primary fluid is held and how it's managed There is no primary fluid...its a dry setup.   Guell Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 10:07 pm:        there has to be some in the transmission...   Jayvee Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 10:58 pm:        Yeah, where's the shifter and stuff?   Blks1l Posted on Sunday, August 21, 2011 - 11:56 pm:        I would assume it requires a different trapdoor that would seal everything off.   Greg_cifu Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 - 04:20 am:        Look more closely at the design. The part with the company name on it is a replacement primary cover but basically flat. With the transmission and starter cavity sealed off by that plate, it's a simple matter of designing bearing carriers and seals that pass the crank and transmission shafts through that cover. The pulleys and their new clutch hang outboard of the new cover. Everything else hangs outboard of that. It looks like a really cool addition if you want to be able to say that you drag your clutch basket in corners.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 - 08:21 am:        So there's a drain added to the transmission side? Is there also a filler added? It would be a PITA to have to remove the primary cover to get to the trap door every time you needed to do a primary fluid swap.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 - 08:22 am:        It'd also be a LOT easier to tell if your crank seal was going bad.   Thylacine Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 - 09:11 am:        Who changes that stuff anyway?   Oldog Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 - 09:13 am:        alternator ??   Jramsey Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 - 09:23 am:        If you want to listen to clutch rattle buy a Ducati.   Oldog Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 - 09:42 am:        FT figure that there are lip seals on the trap door, there is one on the crank already to keep the engine oil in wheres the alternator   Jayvee Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 - 07:04 pm:        I can't catch a picture of it, but I like the one on the Wakan motorycle. It can be seen here: http://www.engmore.com/home.php The engine cases say S&S but can't find any info about the primary cover.   Ft_bstrd Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 - 10:11 pm:        FT figure that there are lip seals on the trap door, there is one on the crank already to keep the engine oil in I understand that. I would assume there would be a seal on the trap door. My question is how, other than pulling the primary cover every time, do you get new primary fluid in there, and once in there, how do you get it out. I wonder if the service interval of the fluid would be extended?   Natexlh1000 Posted on Monday, August 22, 2011 - 11:11 pm:        I suppose without the heat and contamination from the clutch, the tranny fluid could stay in there for a long time, right? What is the fluid life of a big twin tranny? (Not primary)   Nwrider Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 12:31 am:        That sure is purdy. Purdy usually equals I caint afford it. :P   Skntpig Posted on Tuesday, August 23, 2011 - 12:04 pm:        Does want. How much?   Blackm2 Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2011 - 10:42 am:        Any ideas on the cost folks?   96s2t Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2011 - 12:59 pm:        With the dry clutch you would then have reduced oil capacity in the transmission and less cooling/lubrication. Clutch noise and dust. Extra cost....all changed for a look when the stock clutch works perfectly fine? Not for me.   Natexlh1000 Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2011 - 03:19 pm:        Cars with manual trannies don't have to change the juice often. I don't think there is as much heat without the clutch or stator. I personally wouldn't bother but I have to admit that it does look cute.   96s2t Posted on Thursday, August 25, 2011 - 04:33 pm:        I am no expert but I was just thinking that the oil capacity would be greatly reduced and the dry clutch will still create heat if there is friction there. Just think of a V8 motor running with 2 quarts of oil. But... I am no expert. I will be happy to look at the guy's bike that forks out the cash to install the dry clutch.
