Title: A good non-slipper clutch assembly?
Post by: booger on October 11, 2021, 10:23:47 AM
I'm going to do the Biggelaar Performance dry clutch modification which does not work with slipper clutches. I have not yet researched but are there any manufacturers of decent non-slipper clutches still around? I know I'm likely going to need a basket and would rather save a few bucks and buy an aftermarket vs a stocker. I'm running a SpeedyMoto solid quiet clutch cover so I don't care about bling. Seems all anybody makes or wants these days is a slipper. I too was going to run a slipper when it came time to replace the clutch but heard of this clutch mod so now I'm going that way. Supposedly according to Biggelaar it reduces and/or mitigates wear or damage to internal engine components as the twin power pulses react on the clutch which beats shit up in and around in there etc etc. I can't explain it you would need to watch that same YouPube video I watched on the Andy's Motorcycle Obsessions channel. I'm not the biggest fan of the dry clutch noise like most Ducatisti, it's just something I put up with but if I can lessen it and pick up some other advantages with this clutch mod I'm certainly wiling to try it.

Nichols basket or Pro Cutting basket and plate kit. Yoyodyne make great kits too. I would suggest oem alloy friction plates in a Nichols basket. There are billet hubs too from various companies. TPO and Corse Dynamics have good springs, Ti bolts and billet keepers. I preferred the oem pressure plate.

Very helpful, thanks

Thanks, I just bought an aluminium basket from Biggelaar and they will rig it up with their mod so I don't screw anything up on it. Wonder what brand it will wind up being.
