I've gotten a few phonecalls the past few weeks since RIP TOB.
Can someone (Stuart / Duck-Stew) post the steps / procedures like they did before? I'd rather prefer to point people to this site instead for reference and knowledgeable enthusiasts. I or a mod can route to the "how to" section when finished.
Thanks

Here we go again.... [roll] I've got to dig up the instructions. Give me a few days.
Step 1: Locate buyer for arm, leg, and/or first born.... [evil]
A little off topic but will a wet slipper clutch work if converted to dry?
If you're converting it to dry clutch anyway, wouldn't it make more sense to use a dry slipper ? I suppose unless you already have a wet slipper clutch then that makes more sense.

It has been proven that it is more cost-effective to sell your wet-clutch bike and just buy the dry-clutch bike.

Not *really*...

Well, it actually makes the same sense as swapping a regular dry clutch to a dry slipper clutch. If you already have a wet-slipper clutch....then swapping to a dry clutch is very-much a moot point.

ahh, but it also has been proven that some of us... *cough*me*cough* ...are too stupid to listen to such logic-based information ;D
Part of it is JUST HAVING the S2R800 with a dry clutch
some times we do crazy shit that makes no sense just 'cause!

Tell me about it!
Logic rarely applies to anything emotional like a motorcycle.
I just wanted to point out that it's not for the timid or the poor.

I was hoping Stuart was going to dry clutch that 400cc Ducati engine he got from Japan!

The big-motored cranks won't fit into a small case engine (IIRC).
Here's what I relate to:

Yep, that's why you need to skip "step 1", and go straight on to "step 2, click on Monsters For Sale"...

I barely got room for the one. unless I park a bike inside my apt.
in which case, said 'parked in apt.' bike would be very, very specific. and a long term project type bike, at that.
I like my wet clutch bike. It keeps me from having to explain to all of the people that don't know about dry clutches that it's not a rod knocking and there's nothing wrong with the motor and that it's all supposed to do that.
Folks Folks, this is all much simpler than that.
