I have a diaphram clutch in my 84 shovel, and want to update to the new style diaphram. Is there anything i need to change other than the mainshaft on the transmission to do this? I have a new,complete clutch assembly. Rverything looks compatable. The only visible difference is the splines on the shaft.

I'm having a hard time seeing the two dots for the rear cylinder,to make sure it is timed right,any ideas on how to veiw it better,The front one is very visible.I've tried to paint it but it doesn't seem to help,I use the open hole plug in the timming hole,it seems to work better than the clear plug,just have to hold it in tight so I don't get sprayed with oil.

After Painting My Tins, I Pulled My Gas Cap Off To Check The Gas After Ride'n A Full Tank, The Paint Or Over Spray Inside Has Gooed Up And I Removed It. Since This Is The Case, Is It Possible For It To Creep Past The Cap Area? Or If I Spill Gas On The Tank? It's Ride'n Time Here So I Haven't Done A Wet Sand Or Clear Coat Yet. Should I Be Good As Long As I Don't Spill The Gas.

I read a while ago, where someone had, or saw some dyno figures on a 88" W/a few different brands of true duals. I thought it said the Rhienharts made the most torque. Does anyone remember this post or who wrote it?
I was also wondering about the Rhienharts. Are they quieter now than before? What makes them quieter and can they be made a little louder w/o drilling etc.?

well, scooter is on his way up north......left the bike at home.......in the van with the family
