I'm pretty sure I think I have a useable clutch hub with all the posts intact that you could have if it would help you out of a spot as both of my Ducs now have aftermarket slipper jobbies. Give me a shout if you need one and I'll dig one out.

Yes I can fully see that myself now, time will tell if it does have lighter pistons/rods and internal gears... I still think he has been in there but again not to sure if i believe he has! Thanks for that buddy I will give you a shout
hoping to get a billet one but this could get me by if i get the engine sorted out quick!

hahah sounds about right mate
will find out when I get this engine apart. Kind of hope it does have lightened stuff in there so I haven't been totally cheated

I like your idiot light solution, very neat.

Excuse my lack of knowledge on this, but what is the pawl? Is that the spring on the back of the engine that is pushing the ball bearing into the fork drum? If so then that is fine. The bike is on 14k
I've decided to do the engine work myself, if i can do car engines i'm sure i can manage this hopefully... hah!
Thanks buddy was fair chuffed with myself on that one to
Cheers,
