Would you post in detail of how to change over to the more modern release bearing system if that is the best way to repair a multiple release failure, a local Indy put the fork in it not to long ago.

I've gone through two or three of them. I keep a spare in my tourpack, but the last one I put in was a genuine HD one and I readjusted the clutch to factory specs and haven't had a problem since. Knock on wood.

they also wear the hole in the cover and the slop makes neutral impossible as the shaft is walking around
the conversion is a 3 part change - the cable becomes an evo flt - the trans door and its outer cover with the ball ramp - it all can be done with the trans in place if you have the tools - the two small door bearings are the issue - if you don't have the pullers then the inner - outer and trans has to be emptied - even with the tools we always emptied the trans - the spring was always a thing that would decide to brake a week after we did the conversion
