    Cheers for that. I've got in my GS1000G a heavy duty backing plate/springs installed with welded rivet. Was using all six H/D pressure plate springs, but you needed a forearm like Popeye, so did the same and used 3 and 3 and works very well.
    Now doing my chain drive GS1000 with a similar sort of thing - 1100cc kit, CV ported head to suit Bandit 1200 carb rubbers with GSXR 36mm CV carbs, APE brass valve stems, H/D valve springs, MTC under bucket shims and Andersons S3 cams, etc.
    Standard clutch not given me much trouble, but it could be better - does start to slip under heavy load.

        I don't know about you guys, but I love looking at immaculate motorcycle parts.

        2016 XL883L sigpic Two-tone blue and white. Almost 42 hp! Status: destroyed, now owned by the insurance company. The hole in my memory starts an hour before the accident and ends 24 hours after.

            That sure is a lot of paint. Any concerns that it won't inhibit the cooling?

              I used several thin coats instead of heavy ones to ensure good coverage and prevent runs - I see air cooled engines that are powdercoated, which is substantially thicker than paint and they don't seem to have any issues.

                The extra paint won't hurt, maybe if you're stuck in traffic in Texas in summer

                  Just a few more parts left to paint - oil pan, oil filter cover, and oil pressure switch housing

                            Ray,

                            Photos of the head will soon follow - I was hoping to have it cleaned up and painted before I posted :-)
