non-Yamaha clutch basket for 2nd gens?

[RandyR]

I noticed that a company named Hinson makes clutch baskets for numerous motorcycles, including some Yamahas.

 

I wonder if there would be enough business for them to engineer one for the 2nd gens, that might be a better solution to the engine whine than the iffy I-basket from Yamaha?

 

I haven't contacted the compnay, and a quick internet search doesn't find the manufacturer, only resellers....

Here's what I found Randy. http://www.hinsonracing.com/ Looks like they are more into racing products than building them for cruisers. I've been wondering if instead of going to an aftermarket, take a 1stGen MKI basket and R&R. IT might be quieter, and it'll have the springs instead of a disc?? I'm not ready to try it, but maybe it could be an option for someone who is at wits end.... ??

What is the difference between the clutch basket in the RSV and the 1st Gen VMax?????

I think it's coil vs. disc springs. Here's a thread with info. V-MAX CLUTCH

1st gen Vmax has disc. At least my 99 does.

Yeah, you're probably right, that's why I suggested a MKI clutch assembly... They do have the springs.....

Do you know if the clutch was 'disc'd' from the git-go in '85 or was it in 86 like the MKII's??

I think it's been the same since day 1.

No 83 thru 85 had the multiple coil springs and then with the redisgn for 86 the diaphram disk was instituted.
