well lets start by finding out what exactly u want to do here. do u jsut want more engagement? how much? high? low? let us know how u want it to act and we can help. if u jsut want more engagement then tkae your clutch cover off and spring out and take a magic marker and mark right where the roller touches the weight and put them all on a bolt and set them in a vice to get the even then tighten it up nice and snug so theres no movement. then take a belt sander and grind a dip into the weights right where the roller touches it. dont go to deep at first. itll take some trial and error. i just did my new S55s on my TB this weekend and it make a huge difference. if u need any help just ask. scott

grinding below the pivot hole, or tucking as its called, should be done with care. you can trim a couple thousandths too much and you'll have problems. imo, i would grind the top to change your engagement or use diferent weight altogether.
