Sylvester Posted September 10, 2009 Posted September 10, 2009 Finally got around to doing the replacement today. Everything went great, easy instructions, simple to follow, removed all plates and reinstalled everything according to plan. Checked the new spring plate against the older, at least 1/32 thicker, and got ready to put the bolts back in. Oh hell , the existing bolts upon inspection were visably stretched. The clutch was replaced over eighty thousand miles ago! All I could do was call my local dealer and order new bolts which may arrive next Tuesday. So much for my easy clutch re-install. I must admit that PCW has their act together. Everything was spot on!

I must admit that PCW has their act together. Everything was spot on! Stretched bolts?! wow.. I LOVE the PCW clutch and yes, they were top notch in assistance.. I had a brain fart on my installation where I got confused with the friction plates and gave them a call.. he walked me through it and just hearing it explained made more sense than reading it off the page.. Go figure.. lol Drop the hammer on the bike now is like wow.. I also installed a Dyna3000 on the bike the other day and still sorting out what it feels like.. the D3K smoothed things out a lot I must say...
Sylvester Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I got the new bolts yesterday and had time today to complete the install. MAN, what a difference. I felt like if I had the cajones, I could have put it on the rear wheel. This is what it should have been like from the beginning.
