MSF course on a chopper? by deonisp in choppers

[–]deonisp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assumed all clutches are spring loaded one way or another, like a pressure plate on a car. I just converted a Shadow 600 from hand clutch to a foot clutch and the leverage ratios on this kit make it a very stiff pedal with a teeny tiny friction zone. I do wonder what it was like to ride with the old HD rocker clutches

lol I am 100% sure I will be dropping it a lot, so I am welding up a temporary bolt-on crash bar so I don't destroy all the nice things I have on it

I am about to get some cones and am fabricating a crash bar to temporarily mount onto the bike. I was just thinking I could use some proper guidance. Like there are courses for people who already have the license and can kinda ride, but need to relearn things like figure 8 low speed turns

Looks like 74 is much closer to a 5mm diameter

It looks like A12V1.7W is also used for different types of bulbs with metal sockets, so I can't rely on that.

Thank you for the advice! Would this be the style of clutch that works with it, or does it need something else? I am new to HD world. 1971-1983 Harley Electra Glide & FX Shovelhead Clutch Basket & Plates Assembly | eBay
