Clutch hub identifiaction

[pano]

Can you identify the origin of this hub? Is this a welded stock hub or an aftermarket conversion?

It was listed on ebay for an GS1100e and matches the dimensions of my stocker and the steel and fiber plates drop right in as they should.

I haven't been able to find this on any GS parts diagram.

See pics on this link. Thanks.

Wow, I've never seen one like that before. Maybe a stock basket that's been modified? The inner base looks stock.

I believe that to be an older MTC lightweight unit. They were fairly tough due to the anodized finish. Yours has the heavy duty springs and rivets but the stock backing plate. It would work well in a hot rod street bike. Dar

Must not have been too popular, this is the only one I have ever seen.

The ebay description decribed it as a steel clutch basket for the GS1100e but had no mfg info. I don't see any markings on it either. thanks.

I think if you check it you will find that it is made of aluminum not steel. It was used for drag racing. Dar

You are correct.

I will put upgrading the backing plate on my list. Thanks.
