    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Has it ever been run in the bike (it looks beautiful)?

Because my bike severely needs one, and when my mechanic tells me, "it can't be done," I want to show him this thread.
 
My mechanic didn't say it can't be done, but asked if anyone was selling the setup for my bike. So...

1. Does it work?

2. Is it for sale?

My apologies for the year late response, I had to make a new account. The bike has not been ridden on the road yet, and the clutch is sitting in a mockup engine, mechanically it appears to be functional however I still need to have a small amount of machining done. Also we had to extend the clutch cover to get it to fit. I have a lot going on at the moment and have been derailed from this project by several other bikes that have come into my possession. However those projects seem to be wrapping up and the GS will once again take center stage.

You might not need to extend the stock cover. I have several RBD clutch covers that are made for GS 1100s & 1150s, for use with a lock up clutch. They are deeper & allow you to eliminate the cover spacer a lot of people use. PM me your cell # & I can send you pictures of them.

What's 11 months between friends? :p

Besides, I ride (and walk) a little slower these days. How slow? I'm looking at Harley Davidsons!

Ha! Well hopefully we can get moving on this again.

I wish I would have known that before we built the extended cover. The covers for the GS 1100s wont fit the GS550 will it? the crankcase for this engine is from a GS550.
 
I am about to embark on a very similar project, GSXR750K6 slipper clutch into a GS1000. I have both clutches at hand and am currently dismantling the GSXR clutch to investigate the potential possibilities.
Wish me luck.
 
Man this thread is worse that going to a strip club when you haven't gotten any in a while, like you've been married for 20 years...

Three people that say they're working on a slipper clutch including the OP, yet no completed projects, or formal quits or anything... so I'm guessing no one actually did it and so to this point no one can.
I guess I'll have to do it then! :rolleyes:
 
There is a guy in the UK who milled his clutch cover the way you describe in order to put a clear plate on it it so you could see the inner workings from memory... It's a white GS1000
