A dog driven Harley transmission needs some windage drag from the transmission fluid to shift properly. If not , the dogs won't drop in.

Be interesting to see how polishing the clutch hub so the disk slide easy.

I have only seen two others besides mine. A Roadking and another Fatboy that had a 6 speed.

Ever one of there clutch plates were pretty snug in those slots. They had that Belville cup damper to break the inner ones.
HIGH?
So if I'm reading this correctly, the plate lift isn't excessive?
Also by polishing the fingers and slots in the hub and basket I don't believe I could have removed much material. In my mind tighter tolerances would be an issue with release.

0.090 is OK.. IIRC the early ramps give you more.. Hech, my 113 ci evo only has about 0.065 but it has a dry clutch.. Can be hard to find neutral if stuck in traffic..

Yeah I have the 21⁰ ramps with 10mm ***** bearings. Guess we'll find out soon!
