Karata Ordered This Morning

[Bigbass]

Trainguy, you made me feel better about my lie to my wife.

The first time she seen it I told her that I had friend of mine named Jim Karata cut the enclosed primary up and made this thing. I said I had to change the sprockets from chain to belt and I just used different seals. So far she has not asked about the Karata dude on the inner plate.
Frome enclosed to open.

I think the guy did a freakin awesome job cutting up my stock closed primary.....LOL

Has anyone ever though of a Group Buy from Karata? Kind of a tall order huh?

Haha Fat chance. Just came back from Jim's shop. Spent about an hour Bsing and can Guarantee you will not get a group but from him. Nice guy and knows motorcycles.

Quick Service

Kudos to Jim for quick service. The unit arrives this afternoon. Two days, can't beat that. I will post a few pic although it will be later in March, bike still in storage. Damn PA weather, now another storm is coming. At least I will have some time to read up on the instructions and look it over.

Easy install. Just watch your that the motor plate sits flush on to the tranny. Basically just need to loosen trans bolts to square up. Pulley alignment is critical. His front shim is damm close if not right on the money. If you got the jr clutch your ok, I upgraded and you need to lengthen your push rod 1".

Can somebody please pm me the super secret price. I would like to know how much I would have to come up with before I bother anybody.

Hey Bigbass, how does the bike take left corners now. I've been looking at open primaries for a while and trying to decide on which size I want to get. Looking at possibly getting a 3" instead of 4" anyone have any inputs? Thanks

On the chrome part. I got mine from him in polished aluminum and sent it to the chrome shop.
Jim is so much fun to talk to and he has a vast amount of knowledge.


Just curious. Did Jim say it was ok to have it chromed? I thought I read on here one time it caused problems. That's one of the reasons I haven't bought one yet. I want chrome

Any of you guys have the stock clutch for sale or at least a basket for a 2005 Chopper with RH drive? BTW, got my big toe caught in an open belt reaching for the kick stand at idle on an old Shovel head at idle.... that hurts!!
