Maybe I missed it but how many miles did you get on that clutch design? I have 40K on mine and when I was in there, could not even measure any wear. However, do not remember any riveted parts. There are a couple very small bellville looking damper rings in the back. Is that what that part does?

I havent gone 1 year of riding without tearing this bike down for something... Minor stuff monthly, and something major every 3 months or so.

Well, it took me a while as usual but its coming together. Waiting on a new throwout bearing, gaskets, and front rubber mount. The loud, dirty, oil leaking old bitch will run these lonely Texas highways again here real soon.
