anyone still messing with the comet primary clutch?

fiximatt,don't be so sad about my reply in this post up here,i known what you're saying,the only factory in the u.s who do cut clutch sheaves i known of is walh brothers,they can do that from what i heard through the years with sleds,just got back form a ride today,put a pencil mark right on top
of primary,once a got back from the ride the mark isn't even there but at the very top of the primary,trust me,very top,using at over 305 lbs of pressure on t of the spring,44-40 helix,later...

It is a crime for comet to avertise this clutch as better and faster because it's not.as a matter of fact without machining the belt doesn't even travel as high as a stock one does,which means it has less top end speed.

Matt, If I had kept the polaris a little longer it would have had a Comet on it. Unfortunately I havent had anyone around here to need any tuning done on one. I would love to get my hands on a comet bike and see what's going on. You ever been to Arkansas????[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img][img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
