Personal Quote: |
Been building my second XB12 chopper softtail and I'm dead set on Buell .Built a 96 S lighting and now a XB12 soft tail .Question; ive mis placed my manual for clutch identification parts list Retainer ring,etc...Found that after riding about 11 mile clutch did not have power that it did .Reason after further inspection retainer ring that holds clutch depression spring plate is bent and springed off when I pulled front inspection cover and clutch ramp retainer spring was missing.Any help would be appreciated. 4 years on project I Will not Quit .Very difficult to adapt to a soft mount chopper but worth it in the end I hope ,What a lesson in design and the way all the mechanics work in conjunction of being safe and reliable.Thank you guys.......

Problems/Miles (Please be specific): |
Shifting was hard .When clutch was running perfect solved problem. Took off aluminum shift connector and shifted directly from shaft shifts smooth now. Reason Less levers to contend with .One lever is better than three when transferring your 5 - 10 lbs of pressure to three levers which takes three times the force .
