I might have an alternative for you to the TPO Beast and relocator kit.

?

That looks a lot like a gift registry.  ;D

I have a brand new Barnett Ducati clutch in my garage, complete with basket, plates, and pressure plate.

Make me an offer foo!

I didn't do the beast but I did do a pod kit install and rectifier relocation.  I could share my notes, etc.  It's a lot less expensive.

I forgot you had one of those wet clutchy things.  My clutch no worky on your thing.

Unless I change it over to a dry clutch...

Hey Mo, that Barnett clutch pack... are those aluminum plates & basket, or the stock-replacement steel?  What about the pressure plate, is that any kind of blingy aftermarket one?

I'm looking for an excuse to mod the clutch on the SS... it's getting grabby (probably just needs cleaned and inspected...but I could use an excuse to mod it).

Hey!!!

you little vulture

go away

Mine

 [cheeky]

I hear it is a serious pain in the ass to mod a wet clutch into a dry one... unless you just want to duct tape a tamborine to the side of your engine for the rattling noise. Let the bible vulture get his clutch.  [clap]

Fine

take it

but from now on you are The Vulture

 ;D

I don't have the money for the 996 gears anyway

 [laugh]

Last time I checked with Stu, it was around $1000 to change a wet clutch to a dry.  I just made the assumption (based on the original post) that it'd be pretty low on your priority list.  (I wouldn't have asked if I knew you had a dry clutch... not tryin' to steal parts out from under anybody)

So yeah... guess I am a vulture, swooping in on unneeded parts.  ;)

Yeah I talked with him about it

got about the same price

and an extensive parts list

but

I just don't see why it has to be that involved

I would think all you need is to change out the clutch-side cover from a 1000ds and get a dry clutch and you should be good

its an aluminum clutch basket, and pressure plate for sure, I need to check on clutch plates, I would think they are steel (more durable for this purpose then aluminum) but will need to check when I get home.

I think the pressure plate is anodized red too.  :)

I used to have a pair or two of those!  [thumbsup]

Is that Robin Williams?

OMFG!!!

What were you . . . like not born in the early 80s?  [cheeky]

Yes, Robin Williams during his coke induced funny days!  ;D

I didn't enter this world til 84 dear. Most of my early memories are from the 90s.  ;D

You didn't put "Get new vest" on that list?!?!

Sheesh!

 ;D

Wow... kids are invading the board.

I thought I was the young one at May of 1983. (though even I recognized Mork & Mindy ;))

Haven't you noticed? He's moving away from that thing to button downs!!!!  :o

Hey Mom, the other thing I've heard about on wet-to-dry clutch conversions is the need for some kind of custom bushing for the output shaft.  And you'd probably want to use a 900 case, as the 1000ds case might be slightly different (clutch is the same, but I know the left-side case is different, and the right-side may be slightly different as well).


Red anodized pressure plate would be bootiful!  My only concern on having steel plates in an aluminum basket is premature wear because of the dissimilar metals.  From what I can tell, one either wants aluminum-on-aluminum, or steel-on-steel.  However... the Barnett basket I saw on their website had steel inserts for wear purposes.  If that's the case then one has steel-on-steel wear surfaces, which would be fine.

Anyways... I'd definitely like to take a looksie at this clutch setup.  Then we'd need to determine the fair value and I need to see if I can afford it.

as I understood it, the 1000ds and the 620 are te same motor, just different pistons, heads,, and clutch

so a 1000ds right side cover should include what is needed

but who knows  ???

 [laugh]

you funny man herm

 [laugh]

wow

it is amazing how much more responsive the motor is when the belts are adjusted correctly


 :-\

Imagine that. 8)

First time huh? You ought to replace them old things. You can use pantyhose you  :-\

I think we replaced them one drunk night a year or two back.

He just needs to ride it more so they dont rot.

fixed it for yah [thumbsup]

that was covered in the different heads

smart guy

 :P


but basically I have been tolld they are the same motor...sorta

well,............as long as we are talking about conversions...

if i could get my hands on a hyper motard ds1100 engine
and the swing arm
and the shock

i would have a gently used ds1000 engine to offer you
but you would have to come and get it
wherever it might be

OK, deal

 [thumbsup]

//where can i get my hands on a salvage HM??//

Rameses has one now

it will just be a matter of time before some part of it is on fire...


getting ready to pull the trigger on a couple grand worth of parts for the old girl

times like these make me think moto's are just as bad as boats

don't complain too much. you're getting a brand new professional custom paint job for the old girl at no cost to you.  [thumbsup]

I've had a boat.  I have a Ducati.  Ducatis are better.  The thousands you spend on your Ducati are an option.  On a boat, it's often necessary just to keep it running.

Scott

I don't think so.

The 620 is the same as a 750/800

The DS motor has totally different cases AFAIK.

There was a dry clutch 5 speed motor early on and that case can be used or...

you can do it Stuarts' way

I read an article awhile back on the efficiency of the 620/1000ds motors as being the highest HP/Fuel Mileage per cc that Ducati has ever made

in the article it made several references as to the motors being identical except the top end

so either I misinterpreted the article or it was just wrong



and I thought so

stuarts way confused me

I just need to find the case of the old motor

any idea what motor it was?

I think I have become the ultimate miser

here I was going to put a bunch of money in the bike

and I can't make myself

<sigh>

I guess I will just pay bills

<grumble>

I wish the economy had collapsed, i would have been happier

dood...

take a deep breath...

you can pay the bills regardless...

make your list a bit less ambitious...

sheesh...

Nah, Jacob is happier when he's miserable.  ;D

Not anymore  ;D

hey!

dont go reckin the mother we all (the rest of us) know and love >:(































 ;D

Dang it!  Now Mother is going to be all happy and shit.  We won't have anymore of those Mother-style posts we know and love, you know, the ones that are like little Haiku's of nihilism?  Like this:

The sprocket on my Monster is worn.

I am disappointed.

The Interwebz is at fault for debauching the rights of man.

Now, I'm afraid Mother's future posts are going to be like this:

Hey Guys!  Me and JBubble are going to be at Crate and Barrel this afternoon!  Does anyone want to meet up at the Cheesecake Factory later?  We've got a coupon for 2-for-1!!  See later!  Bye!  TTFN (thats "tata for now"  ha ha lol ha ha bye!!)

 
[puke] [puke] [puke]

I blame Jbubble for this horrible turn of events . . .

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]

I'd pay to see Jacob go to C&B. ;D

I will delete any Mom post that includes ttfn. ;)

 [laugh] [laugh] [laugh]


Wait, we did go to Pottery Barn yesterday..... [evil]

GOD DAMMIT!!
 :o
what have you done?

SEE!  What did I tell you!!!  Pottery Barn = Crate and Barrell !!   :o

I've got to go lay down.  I feel faint . . .

There's a song for moments like this:

whatever

I looked all over that barn and didn't find any pot

 [laugh]

A thread that starts with this:

has gone on for 4 pages of inanity...

Gotta love the thread-jackin' DMF.  [cheeky]

oh hush. you enjoyed it. you were the one that wanted to go to the mall in the first place. ;D

he did not enjoy it.... [roll]

Let me have my delusions man!!!!

would you feel better if I grinned?    ;D

Thanks. All better now.

 You're slippin' JBub, you let him off the leash long enough to post a reply. ;D

Time to break out the whip again...

(http://www.13thsog.com/peace/emoticons/whip.gif)

next thing you know, mother is gonna move of the mountain, down to the midwest.........

maybe even ohio.





i feel dirty now.
going to go and bath in whiskey to cleanse myself.

Oh, I'm not that bad!  [cheeky]

Yes you are.

Maybe we should call you "Vixen"

Wait, that names been taken. ;D

Oh both of you hush!  [cheeky]

He ain't doin nuthin he don't want to. Boy gets glued to the spot right quick and I sure as hell can't move him.

 ;D

You prolly shouldn't glue him to that spot then... might make it horribly difficult to put your unmentionables back on.  [evil]

42 ish

and it runs just fine...sorta

I skipped the 12k valve adjustment.  I used to claim that I was just late, but now I'm at 15k+... halfway between the 12k and 18k intervals.  I think the 12k adjustment now counts as officially "skipped".   :P  At least I replaced the belts, so I know those aren't dry and brittle.
