just seeing how the front end would look with a hydraulic clutch master.
the masters match perfectly and i think they will look good on the bike.
i would have to cut off the lever mount off the factory control.
anyway i have alot of other work to do before i can really start thinking about this...

Nice instrument mounting bracket.  Very clean and functional. I'll be fabbing mine this weekend and hope it turns out as nice as yours.
Take care,
David

Honestly that's the stock bracket that came with the dash.  I just bent it back to work
I want to make something else that pulls the bottom of the dash closer to the top of the triple

The double row bearing will retrofit in earrly cases. I have one in my K2 which came with a single row. I'll check into specifics during todays shop time.  There may be more to it, but I think I'm right.

To be honest I've heard that you can get the bearing to work and then again I've heard that the cases are different

Realizing first my "expertise" first hand stops at K2. After that its what I've picked up and believe to be true. My K2 definitley came with a single row bearing and I upgraded to a double row, simply by dropping it in. Looking at my K4 cases, it obviously had a dbl row. Looking at my spare K2 cases, it definitly had a single row, you can see the markings on the place where the bearing goes. That "place" is the same on the K2 cases or the K4 case. The only difference is the bearing used.

Now... there may have been further mods after K4 that you desire and of which I am not aware.  In fact, you may be looking to upgrade to the 630 chain? That requires a different final drive shaft I think, and maybe the cases are different too. The 630 was K7-8 and F?-F?

Not to beat this up too much, but maybe its helpful, here's the pic of the K2 cases:

The mark to the right of the clip groove indicates that's the width of the single row bearing. See the space to the right of the mark? That's where the double row goes.
Here on the K4 cases, you don't see any marks as the dbl row bearing takes up the full width of the surface. As though it was made for the dble row to begin with...hmmmm.


But again there may be further upgrades on later engines that you are looking for?

ive seen a few threads here and other places on the interwebs about this but im not 100% sure.

all i know is guys always talk about wanting to run F2 cases.
someone over at the HiPo forum was saying that there is a "bump out" in the case.
i think it has something to do with A bearing im just not sure what one..
i really would like to know though....

What a pain... What's worse is to have a part back-ordered for a month and then get an email that it's no longer available.

Lookin' good though.  Nice work.
Take care,
David

I have a set of F2 cases and a set of 77K cases that I have examined side by side and they seem to be identical.  I have even cross referenced all the bearings and they all are the same. Still not sure what the difference is.  I am just trying to find out if there is any benefit to the F2 cases over my 77k cases for my 915ci build.

I have looked them over multiple times and can not find any differences.  Yes,  I read the HiPo thread but cant figure out any differences and have never seen any definite answers, just speculation.
