So I figured this out the other day and I think this could be a huge fix for slipping clutches, I'm calling it The superstock clutch, it's not as good as the saf clutch but it's close I think.
This requires the internal spring to be removed from the clutch shaft
Put the flower nut on backwards on the clutch pin
Sand the center of the plate until the flowernut fits flat against the plate
Put washers and a nut on the other side of the plate and tighten the nut be sure to use loctite
Clutch pin may need centered or adjusted as you tighten the nut
The solid pins need to be knocked out and the holes tapped with a
1/4- 20 bit
You will need 1-1/4 inch long bolts
Springs are 14mm od by 20mm long by 7mm id
Might be able to fit 16mm od springs
Springs are compression die mould
A custom length bucking bar will need to be cut
Different length bucking bars are required to adjust clutchpad wear
but can be cut from a different/spare pin the flower nut attaches to or 8mm steel rod
Might need wider crank for pedals
I've never seen this mod anywhere else using the stock clutch plate so maybe I'm the first? It's been working good so far for me so I figured I'd share it hopefully it catches on.
Please try this mod and post back here to let me know how it worked for you
