Ultima 3.5" open primary, think it will drag?

[Moespeeds]

Hey guys, over the weekend I put an Ultima 3.5" primary with the outer bearing support on my 04 Chopper. My tins are out for paint so I can't ride the thing until Friday, but I'm looking at how far this sucker hangs out, anyone have this setup? Does it drag allot?

I can't believe it would. I have a BDM 3" with bearing support and no issues. Maybe just turn right. LOL. Post pics of your paint when done.

I run a primo setup (no outboard bearing support) with the same offset as you and no problems for me.

I have the Karata (3") never a problem....enjoy

That looks good Moe! Nice job.

I had the Karata 4" with outer bearing support on my 2004 Ridgeback (LSD) and it scraped a time or two on the front lower spike.

I had this support plate on it and it hung a tad closer to the ground:

how about the sound of the ultima, whine, alot of clutch clatter?

Very quiet compared to the Primo Brute IV my buddy has on his Bourget. Only other dry clutches I ever rode were Ducati's that were noisy as hell. You can barely hear the Ultima chatter over the engine, if at all.

That would look killer on my spiked ass bike!!!

There's something wrong with his brute IV if its making any noise. Had mine for over a year and mine has never made any noise, just the normal belt whine no clutch chatter.

I'm not going to say there ain't something wrong with it, since there is something wrong with pretty much everything on that bike. Last week his tag bracket flew off, bolts broke. His theory "Well it's hanging out in the wind like that, so the drag from the wind must have caused them to break..." Like he's flying a fucking F-18 or some shit. Anyway, his is really loud. I've had it apart a few times for various problems, and changed the plates a few weeks back, never noticed anything obvious with the basket.
