    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Is this clutch hub useable?

if the backing plate is still tight and no broken or loose springs(HD kit)....
you can file the basket or maybe put it in a mill but it's not a perfection situation.
helical gears cause enough problems with the bike pulling with the clutch in...at least at the track.
bad notches will cause the clutch to be/feel herky jerky when you feed it out.
just the facts..
 
Those look pretty deep. If they are carefully filed wouldn't they be too loose?

i have filed billet baskets before...worked pretty good plus the price was right :D
you may get a little rattle from the fibers if you file them completely smooth.
 
The hub was used in my Super Gas drag bike for three seasons. Then it was put in my street bike for several years. When I was doing my engine rebuild a few years ago, I found a real nice clutch hub at a race I went to. I put it in the engine I'm running now. If I didn't find the present hub I would be my running the original one. I'm not really trying to sell the clutch hub, it's just sitting on the shelf... Norm
 
I had one that looked close to that and since I was rebuilding the engine anyway and had a better one, I just changed it out also.
It never made any noise or stuttered either. I wonder just how far they can go before they are not usable? Is there a "wear to" limit or something?
 
feed back is good.
if it didn't shutter then it's good to go.
my point was using it in a street bike where you feed the clutch aggressively at the drag strip rather than throwing it out with a 2 step and bars.
with a choice between a stock basket that WILL BLOW UP and an HD basket with grooves..i'd buy the HD basket.
 
I would use it. I would also file the notches down. It takes a little while but the gain is better than what it is now. I use a pretty big flat file to "tune them up" & have had no issues with them after.
