Ian,
Chopper Ray here (hehe). I was talking to Frank Wedge about this whole
clutch thing recently. He advised that there were a bunch of reported
loop trannies with the main shaft at a tiny angle (I understood him to
mean off center) and that they ate clutches for breakfast. We didn't get
to the part of the conversation where we would have discussed how to
diagnose and/or remedy this problem. Sounds like Greg has some knowledge
of this, also.

I will call Stan Friduss tonight and see if he has some insight and will
report back. Being that my trans is on the bench right now, assembled, I
will also place the dial indicator on the input shaft tonight and look
for wiggles. If you're tearing yours open, I'm willing to send the
indicator your way again so you can check your main shaft and report
back to the list also. Maybe, just maybe, we'll figure this thing out.

Jason, I'm waiting for my bankroll to allow me to buy the RAM, also.
Hopefully by November. Please let us know how the installation goes.
When I do mine I promise to take many photos and post them. I'm
particularly interested in knowing your opinion of the hardware. I'm
also curious as hell as to the total weight compared to stock parts.

Batten down the hatches, mateys. Yet another hurricane to weather
through. This time I'm staying here at home. I stupidly rode to Daytona
to avoid "Charley". Duh! Great bar parties afterwards, at least the ones
who had generators, but pretty damn scary for a while. I couldn't fit
the bike in my motel room but it suffered no damage, although adjacent
cars had windows missing. Luck of the ignorant.
Ray

What happens if the engine and tranny are not on centerline is that you
turn the input hu and plate-spline interface into a planetary gear.
