aside from a precision milling process and high end post treatment of the products,

how is this different from a 48T setup?

the outer rings sit together if you look closer. the second to last has a lip that slides over the last. like a bearing almost to keep the pack and basket stable.
simple design really

Mr. Lewis (of Wagner-Lewis) was in my shop (Flight Cycles) years ago trying to get me to 'demo' a unit but I didn't have a project to install it on @ the time...

Kinda wish I had found something to install it on in hindsight.

I might do it for a trick street bike, or one I put a lot of miles on. Slipper clutches are nice, but not all that necessary for the street. I do kind of agree though...for $2K you'd think it would be a slipper.

i highly doubt it.

he only makes ONE product.

For a street ride, you better ride a TON to use that clutch. 48T last long enough and then the stabilizer plate doing extra work too??
for the track i could understand.

If it was a slipper. No way I'd spend that much for a race/track clutch that wasn't.

That said, it sounds like it would make race starts a lot easier. Ducati dry clutches make it a pregnant dog to get a good, quick, smooth launch. I used to think it was just tough to get a good launch...an acquired skill I guess...until I rode an R6. Easy!!

I wish I still had a Duc with a dry clutch so I could buy one of those hand made beauties! 

I can help you with that.   Cheesy

Its cool but its a solution in search of a problem.

$2000 buys a lot of tires and track days.

Or a weekend (mostly) a the California superbike school.

Or a shit load of replacement clutch parts Grin

But it is cool.
