@Dan89FLSTC You know I'm gonna sell the early wet clutch every time. It ticks off Marty and gives you and me 2 things to disagree about - clutches and used piston rings

Marty does like the old type Shovelhead clutches, and Keihin butterfly carbs...

You are between a rock and a hard place on this, because the late `84 was an oddball half year configuration.
Andrews does not make a replacement for this shaft (35042-84).
Two mainshaft part numbers were used in 1984, this is where is gets confusing...
The early `84 used a 35042-79 mainshaft (shovelhead type clutch, 5 speed, chain drive).
The late `84 used a 35042-84 mainshaft (diaphragm clutch, 5 speed, chain drive) this configuration was only used on late `84 bikes.
Be careful when looking for a replacement shaft, a lot of online vendors will show a -79 shaft as a replacement for late `84, but a -79 shaft is not compatible.
Put the old mainshaft on a pair of v blocks and measure the runout again...
