thanks again to flynbyu for the advice. much appreciated. it did take in fact about 3 hours, including about 30 minutes to soak the new disks. my buddy helped me and we had absolutely no idea what we were getting into. everything went fine, went together nicely, and operates perfectly. the one picture is the old clutch disks. I also have the gyt-r filter adapter and k&n filter. And while the bike was down i put in the 25 pilot jet. Now for tires........
