Story on the pitbull is it is eventually going to be my project bike 04' pitbull. The rear compression release threads stripped and my compression release backed out. I had a machine shop do the repair but the motor is out of the bike. You can see it in the back of my BBC on the image. I am considering converting it to a single gas tank instead of the split tank design.View attachment 37975View attachment 37976

I agree single tank is the way to go..it will make the bike look longer.

I also like the looks of a well done blacked out bikes but it's always a toss up caise black and chrome is timeless

Where do you put all your shit that garage is so empty compared to mine!!!!:(

I am a bit OCD when it comes to clutter and organization. That really helps when taking things apart and getting them back together. Right now my garage is a mess with one bike torn apart and my sons car being worked on.

Lock up clutches are no trouble and they grab! The more power applied the harder they grab. Yes they do take a little getting use to, but an experianced rider will be good to go after 4-5 takeoffs. For those who have never tried one. The lock up clutch does not slip. It grabs! With centrifical force through ball bearings the harder you roll the throttle the harder they dig in. 99.99999% of all drag bikes run them. When I had my closed primary I would romp on my bike quite hard and the clutch would slip.so when I put on my open primary I went with the lock up and it don't slip. Like I said, takes a little getting use to and you have to ride it a little different. But yes very much worth it!!!

I was referring to the bike he had hanging on the wall :oldhardlaugh:

The clutch sounds fine if you want to fast take offs and such but what about stopping on a hill? I use the clutch to keep from rolling back when I let off the brake.

So fill me in on this lock up clutch a little more please, I'm still a little ignorant. So you do not use a clutch lever and to shift you just back off on the throttle and shift and the only time you're not moving is at Idle?

No, it works same as a normal clutch with a clutch handle. With either wet clutch or a dry clutch they can slip. With a lock up there is no slippage. You have ball bearings using centrifical force to compress the disk.

I hate to disagree with you but I bought a BDL open for a Harley and the clutch shaft was too small. I had to have it machined to fit the baker.

Mine fit no problem! On my offset I added a 1.25" spacer to the motor side. That is for a 2003 BIgdog chopper 107" motor with a baker 6 speed transmission. I also ordered mine for a 1996-2005 soft tail and told BDL I was using a Baker transmission. IMG_0297.JPG
