Awesome Randy.
Now, as a little tangent.....could replacing the number 6 without changing the diaphragm spring reduce slippage on its own?
I am replacing the diaphragm spring that is certainly the culprit in my case, but just asking, as this might be a 'bush mechanic' fix to keep a bike going that needs to get to the next town.

No, replacing that spring would make it slip worse.

If you just removed it, that would remove the cushioning spring tension from the clutch pack as it tries to work against the diaphragm spring.

 :pardon:Weeeellll, I had to have some maintenance done on this corpse of mine. I'm down to one arm for a while, so off to Glenn's workshop (he kindly picked it up and rode it to the shop) she goes again.
I'm on my way back to Oz, and just had the message from Glenn she is ready to go.
Luckily the shed day is coming up, so some fortunate lad gets to fang my Effie for me. I'll also need someone to take it to the dyno run as well.
Nearly there!
It f!#@ing sucks typing one handed, with your off hand!
Plus all the prep to do this myself hmmmm

Righto then, after the dyno run, no slip.

OEM mufflers take 10-15hp off the back wheel, so conservatively Effie has real world 110hp with the Delkevics, and measured 102hp with the OEMs.

All finished :dance2: :greeting: :dance: :drinks: :drinks: :drinks:.

All I need now is another project, ......... :wacko1:
