looking for rocker oil feed pipe. '56 HT5

Re: 2 plate clutch centre.

Thanks for that,

Unless I'm mistaken, if you look at the picture of my centre, it's already the thicker spline one with the raised centre boss

Re: 2 plate clutch centre.

Hi.
I decided to bite the bullet and machine the centre I've got and fit the 3 plates. Turns out it rides like a complete new bike. The bite is strong but smooth and is lovely to pull away and no slipping when the cam comes in. There's also no drag after its been ridden for 30 or 40 miles like ...

Re: 2 plate clutch centre.

2 plate clutch centre.

Hi.

Currently doing the 3 plate clutch mod to my ht5.

Thanks
Richard.
