Well I did it. Cobrafreaks bearing conversion and advice paid off. My first attempt at grinding the honda shaft was a no go. Took too much off. Took cobras advice and jb welded the shaft and tried agin and got it almost perfect.Have a little bit of clutch bell ring. After the grind and reassembly I still had sevier clutch grab which i thought was due to the bell. The clutch grab was due to the clutch shoes [see photos ]The clutch grab is gone now after I took apart the clutch and noticed how rusty and dirty the clutch shoe pins? were and the holes the pins go in also[not shown] the three bolts and springs were nasty too. I took Cobras advice about adding washers to these bolts for a higher rpm grab. These washers are real thin.Since I had the stage 111 tranny I was able to rob the washers since both clutches are similar. Also I put a little bit of grease into the clutch shoe pins holes. Verdict Success Me happy now.No clutch grab and jerking and getting smoother too

Sure do wish I could do the same with the clutch I bought for the HF 79 engine I am using. It is great on the top end but I have to nurse it at low speeds because it shakes the bike till it gets some speed up.
