New manual clutch coming out.

[Mike R.]

And 20 for the nearest indoor plumbing..:laugh:

im not that isolated, plus im on the "good guy list" the 5.0 is good out here.
they would put my ride in the trunk, and take me to my house.
but if your not from here" watch out" banjo music a playen

the way that actuator works along with the outer brace, looks like there is zero side loading on the crankshaft

Yes, I got on the wait list also....but am still not sure I'll buy one till they are proven. (since the first generation had such issues)

Shucks, the price tag on that is higher than what I've paid for any one of my 9 vintage mini bikes :laugh:

MB165 , I appreciate the information you shared. That means a lot to me, coming from you. It gives me more encouragement, that this design will work out !

Thanks :thumbsup:

$260 is nothing for a true performance clutch that holds HP and performs well.
Just sayin

 

[MB165]

i certainly dont like the way we were left hanging with V.1, it wasnt that bad, i wanted to get the HD friction liner as a spare, then poof........ gone..... i sold mine just because of that.........im gonna ask some questions before paying for this one.

looks like the same crew as downs brothers racing. i never used my version 1 clutch.
i put my name on the list for one, let's see what happens. my opinion of the first go-around
is that they were good engineers but lacked the business model and experience to
follow through.

:thumbsup:

Couldnt agree more.

Kinda of an idle thread.... Just wondering if anyone had dropped the hammer and got one of these new clutches yet?
Are they even available yet?

 

[Txpowdercoater]

when I bought the downs brothers waaay early on, They also said it would hold 20hp and we all know it was no where near that amount. Mine is still sitting in the box on the shelf covered in dust.

 

[buckeye]

Where you been?
MikeR is looking to buy one.

 

[mckutzy]

I hear ya. mine is sitting in the bottom of the tool chest...
I might use it later on, but its not really useful right now.

unless this holds up to hard launches and hp for drag racing or kart racing I don't see much use for a manual clutch on an engine with no gears...it will be more of a conversation piece IMO...

Thats what i was thinking. what we need now is a nice little inline 3 speed to put in place of a jackshaft.

I don't know if anyone has seen this on ebay but its only 179.00 plus 10 for shipping. I might be a little late to the convo but thought I would mention it as no one has mentioned anything about it on flea bay

 

[DBMonster85]

i seen it the other day when browsing then i stumbled on this thread about it. i thought it looked pretty cool but you can get a 2 disk bully for 200 bucks. and that will hold 20hp. i would like to try one of these though. nothing like dumping the clutch on something. LOL its supposed to be rated for 20hp and 25 foot pounds of torque. who ever made it better hope that it holds that power because they know the mini bikes are putting that power out. if it holds that's a hell of a deal.

 

[jmcdowell034]

i follow them on facebook- they seem to post a lot there. i made an account on OldMiniBikes to see if anyone has used one yet and could give a review. looks like not. they just posted this video on facebook yesterday

[mckutzy]

Hello and welcome.... that does seem cool... this gen of clutch....
I have the first one and defiantly couldnt launch it like that....
Well have to see when more people chime in that they have bought it.
