Here's a 915 for you.....

http://forums.sohc4.net/index.php?topic=87409.0;topicseen

Just posted...
                      Thanks Retro Rocket, I've had this set posted in the high performance parts section for a while.  I really can't
             understand why it hasn't sold yet.  It's a real nice set from MTC and the price is really reasonable.  Thanks again.   ;)

I have a birth day coming up soon..... ;D ;D ;)
                Mick,  If you want the kit you can have it for $ 500.00 shipped to your door.  Thats $ 450.00+ $ 50.00 shipping
                           since it's your birthday !!   :o :o ::)

Christmas in August....  Thanks to the great guys at APE and BigJay.  This is supposed to be my winter project but I may have to at least start building up the engine.  I can always swap them out when the weather turns.

Our clutch has two more friction plates than stock which gives you over 20% more clutch. It will hold more power than any other clutch available.

You will probably only buy it once.

Uh, Jay, that can be taken more than one way. That's kind of like saying you will only eat at a restaurant once.  ;)
Perhaps it would have been better to say "It's all the clutch you will ever need."

Jay,

I am running your extra plate clutch in my current 836.  Maybe I will just swap it over to the new engine when the time comes.

Never thought about that.  Truth is, you will then buy stuff from us you don't need, just for the pleasant experience.

Some of the last parts to complete my engine build.  I am also going to add a boxed swingarm to stiffen this up in the rear.









I hope to get in the garage today, watch some football and get most of the top end built up.Jugs, head and MLS gasket on and torqued down.  I will let them sit over night then re torque.

how do you like it on the 836?  think it would work well on a smaller output motor??

It worked well, but is a little sticky when going in out out of engagement once I switched to Redline 20/50w oil.

Freekin sweet man! What ignition are you running on that bad boy? You doing anything wacky with the charging system or the roter? I find myself constantly concerned about power use vs the charging ability of yore. My kingdom, for a bran spankin NOS F2 harness!
