ya lemme know too, i want this for mine the only con ive heard is that the clutch plates wear faster in the dry clutch setups other than that there good. i got a leak on mine in 2 places one being the stator wires groumet! which is conveinently molded to the stators wires so you have to replace the hole stator just to solve the leak. well im sure it will happen again and rather than spend the 200-300 bucks each time in parts and labor im going to spend 600 on a belt drive dry clutch setup and never have oil in there again!!! but would like to hear sum others input on the situation.
