G9 performance clutch...any experience with this?

Anyone replaced their G9 clutch with this hi-perf model? It says it's "fully adjustable", just wondered if it made any difference over an original clutch in good working order....always looking for upgrades (besides the big block

).

ya i was looking at one of those to replace my stock cluch with. so i can rev up before taking off, and it lets you idel a bit while in gear.

anyone have any info on this?

Never tried one of these but it seems like a great clutch. Rated up to 40 hp sounds good too. Not a bad price either. Only about $60 more than a stock one. If I was in the market for a clutch, I would spend the little extra and try it, especially if I had a v-twin.

I'm sure you will feel a difference. And it can be setup for the response you want.

I'm of the same mindset as everyone else. I bought a new clutch last year so I don't necessarily NEED one, but wouldn't mind trying it out. Just not ready to spend the $$ just yet.

Come on, SOMEBODY fork out the dough and give us some data!!

i have a stock rebuilt G2a motor.i put in a heavier spring.wore out a bushing in the rear clutch.cant get just the bushing anymore.had to get the entire moving disc.anyway,my point is,sometimes just a HD spring in the clutch will give you a lot more power.mine was used,25.00 bucks.let us know what you decide.thanks

Dock98...Why couldn't you find a secondary floating flange bushing? I did 2 today. Let me know and I'll get the part # for you. Dave
