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

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.

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!

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

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.
