Hey Ed!! Small world[emoji2] Once I get a few things squared away this bike will be headed to Chuckwalla for a shakedown [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
Truth LMAO "That clutch basket you sent is a piece of JUNK!!" Diplomacy is not his strong suit. But I couldn't care less. He'll have my 4DP in better nick than when it was brand new.
His reputation precedes him. I'm sure my bike will be in great hands. [emoji16] Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
I saw your clutch at Roland’s tonight, it was completely trashed, broken all over the place. He doesn’t need diplomacy to let you know what you sent his is complete junk. Just sayin’ Peter
Was sent to him as a whole, albeit repaired, basket. He said it was serviceable, but only in a pinch. So I ok'd him to cannibalize it for parts (hence it's torn down condition when you saw it) to be used in a new, aftermarket basket. Just Sayin'
The one Roland showed me must not have been yours. It was broken beyond being even remotely serviceable. Inner and outer were broken.
Just offhand, does anyone have any of the parts/service manuals in english? Gecko had, but only in Japanese....

This whole thing makes me very happy. Ed tried to get me into bikes when I was a youngster. Never liked them. Didn't know the class of people that I was hanging around. I am very proud to have been mentored by Ed when I was a new Coasty. Wish I would have gotten the two wheel bug when I had the chance. Thanks Ed as always for helping me out all these years. Wish I could have afforded to run that bike! I will be riding at chuckwalla in May hope to see the bike again.
I have one of Roland's custom swing arms, fits twin shock TZ250's, RD350's. Of course it's trick. Needs a good home, if the group here knows of anyone. Terry Knight gave it a black powder coat, oh around 1984, otherwise it's completely as designed and built.
