Thanks to Vince and the other guys at TPS for doing a great job on getting my clutch replaced today. They put up with me watching, and they did a good job. My clutch feels a whole lot better.

Congrats, which twin did you wind up going with?

I finally decided to go back to a single disk. The guy who builds clutches for TPS built an 11" metal puck clutch that should be good for over 700 HP. That went on top of a new steel flywheel. I am just starting the break-in, but it feels great so far. Clutch pedal pressure is not bad and it isn't too grabby. I am happy.

Sounds great. How did the safety bellhousing install, any issues?

There was enough controversy about whether the bellhousing would need to be dialed in or not that I decided to do more research before I installed it, so I did not install the McLeod bell housing yet. I'll know exactly what is needed before the new engine is done and ready to go in, so I will do it then at the latest.

That sounds like a good plan, since you'll be installing a new engine anyways. Congratulations again.
