Another 5 Star rateing for Jim's Clutch Kit!

[Retmachinist]

I received my clutch kit from Jim at Creative Eng. and installed it this morning. It Is Sweet! Let me tell you, that is some precision work on the fits! I wouldn't even attempt to make it for that price, and I have the stock laying around to do it. Great job Jim. I think people will love the rest of the upgrade parts you are making. I will probably be buying more, as I have decided to Keep the Schwinn Jaguar I have and completely rebuild it into something really wild.
Keep up the great work!

You can find those little air cleaners at about any Auto parts store. They are actually valve cover breathers. They come in Red, White, or Blue. I think I paid $9.95. You will have to drill a couple small holes, and you can use the original tapped holes in the carb. I made a little spacer adaptor.

sweet mother, i saw those breather filters at my local Oreilys autoparts store. I would have used one of those awhile ago but i lack the clearence on my frame do to the way the motor will mount on my frame. Were can i buy that custom clutch kit?

I recently took my bike out today in -8 degrees today it ran rather nice untill i got into my parking lot of my apartment, i am hopeing the clutch is just frozen and not worn out as for some reason theirs tension on the clutch cam but the clutch is not engaging to turn the engine out so its like theirs no engine drag at all.

I only have one word fro the CE clutch actuator-
ABSOFRIGGINLOOTELY AWESOME.

O.K., that was two, but you get the idea.

I like the actuator too. I had some trouble getting mine set up properly, and still have a couple adjustments to make, but it works really well

Wow, You went for a ride at -8. I live just east of you in a suburb of Des Moines. We had -18 this morning and it finally reached a high of -4. I am surprised the thing even started. You can get the clutch upgrade from Jim at Creative Eng. He is a member of this forum, you can probably look him up.
I would say your problem is something being very stiff from the temp. I would guess it works when it warms up. Below zero weather does some crazy things.

They are kind of tricky to get set, but I think I am going to be real happy with it when I get a chance to try it out. Or I should say when My wife gets to try it out. I guess she is going to end up with the black bike.

could someone tell what is the deal with this clutch activator and where can I get one. You guys seem to have a wealth of knowledge on these gas bikes.
