    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...

  • Returning Visitors

    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.

I just picked up a 1980 gs1100e. Im in the middle of going through the entire bike. I pulled the clutch over and found that there is a vance and hines superhub clutch basket on it. Can anyone tell me about this?
 
After market high strength basket. Should have a welded backing plate/primary gear to the basket, and stronger springs than stock.

Used for high torque motors so there is less chance of the clutch blowing up :)

The stock baskets get worn out from the clutch fibers, and the springs get loose and can break over time causing the notorious clutch rattle at idle.

According to the old V&H catalog, The Super Hub used the stock basket.

They had a "modified hub" which was just welding the rivets
The Super Hub" which had a thicker backing plate, stronger springs and rivets. We still do that one.

Then they had the Billet Hub, which was the super hub with a billet basket. We still do that with a forged basket.
