[QUOTE="SS LS1, post: 168049, member: 8999"] Beautiful cover for sure! Some nice motor eye candy for your ride. Still not sure what auto clutch setup is best the split centrifugal/manual like the TRX 90......or the all in one centrifugal/manual mounted all on the crankshaft? The split system appears to have more "manual style" clutch plates for more clutch holding capacity on higher HP motors. However seems like a lot of rotating mass to spin which might slow acceleration but would likely be very lugable once under way. [ATTACH=full]54995[/ATTACH] The centrifugal clutch has lots of surface area on the clutch shoes to grab the outer clutch drum for great clutch grip. Plus it looks like it would be rather easy to modify the spring strength or lighten the clutch shoes to increase the engagement rpm of the centrifugal clutch. [ATTACH=full]54996[/ATTACH] The all in one centrifugal/manual would likely be less mass to accelerate and less to decelerate which should help smooth down shifting engine braking surges. However there could be less "manual clutch plate" surface area compared the the split semi auto clutch. [ATTACH=full]54997[/ATTACH] However not sure how the centrifugal weights and center hub ramp clutch grip strength compares to the clutch shoes seen above? [ATTACH=full]54998[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]54999[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]55000[/ATTACH] Also not sure how you would modify the centrifugal clutch to raise the clutch engagement RPM with this setup. (7 centrifugal weights per side) You would likely have to just change out the clutch for one with fewer centrifugal weights like this one with only 4 weights per side (16 total) This is said to raise centrifugal clutch engagement RPM by 1500 RPM over the 7 weight clutch (28 total) but has the clutch grip strength been compromised?
