Hello all knowing XS650 owners,
I'm building a new engine for flat track racing and the engine I'm using is from an '82 Special II. I've been told that If I'm going to be running any kind of decent horsepower I should convert my 6 disc clutch to a 7 disc.
So now I'm working with Michael Morse at 650 Central and he tells me the only thing I need to change is the "inner clutch hub" (see pics). He did some research on part numbers and has told me that I need to use one from a '74 thru '79 engine.
Has anyone ever done this conversion before and can you add any info on this? I'm wondering if my '82 inner clutch hub can be machined to make this conversion work. Possible?
Any helpful info from experienced minds or just general thoughts would be welcome.
Thanks,
Robert
