81 GS1100E Clutch Basket!

[ghainjr1]

Does anyone know what has been done to this? And also can just the center ring be replaced? Where the oil pump drive gear rides is a little worn.
I'm replacing everything and dont want to replace the basket if I dont have to.$$$ If you know, let me know. Thanks Greg.

The clutch hub has been welded to the primary drive gear. This a good thing as long as it's balanced. Some of these clutches develop a wobble and break the rivets and throw the springs. After looking at the pics it looks like this has already happened.

I'm curious, how much roughly is a clutch basket?

Unless you find one on Fleabay here's a good option. Blows the little money concept though.

Is that why they welded the keepers on for the springs chef? Also who can I get to check if this things balanced?

How can you check to see if its balanced. Local cycle shop is no help.

You can buy a new clutch basket for $148 from mrcycles.

Hey, you're bidding on a MTC lock up clutch kit. Are you planning on drag racing? Good luck on the item. My buddy put those on his turbo 1100.
