Post clutch to direct drive conversion
Does anybody know what it would cost to convert from a clutch to direct drive and do away with the clutch? The motor I have with a clutch on it has been nothing but a p.o.s.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not a bash - to try to put a thread back on track to what
the original post was asking....

Man wants to know how to trade from clutch to direct drive...

Keep the thread on track... We know the make and model now
so the MB knowledgable folks can help him out if the ninja take a break...

How hard could it be to fabricate a spacer the
same width as the clutch...

I bet if Autogateman could fabricate parts to
adapt a GT reverse to a MB - he could help the
man out...


Hey C.O. - come on over and we will ride any weekend you want...

That's what I was told, I kinda thought that seemed a lil salty too. Ive got a friend that has the same motor as I have and he said he had to make It direct drive to keep from putting a new clutch in it every year.

Something must be wrong if burning a clutch that fast. Also, they cost about $300 for clutch & new pulley. No reason anybody should be goin through a clutch per year.
