Clutch WOES NO MO!

Bandit going in my '05 Dog on Tuesday morning. It's about 400.00 with labor and seals, but I'm tired of the gremlins and ready for some piece of mind.

Did I :lol: :lol: :up: :up: YES...was going to wait until I got back from vacation before I installed it and planned to get some anodozing done to the OBS bracket so as to match the bike - can't wait - so I jacked up the bike last night and started - Should have it ready in time for the weekend.

Bought TWO OBS brackets - will have one anodozied while I ride with the other - The dog is on the operating table - new PRIMARY - KP Oil filter (black with diamond cut - thanks to Jake) and working on a NEW SEAT - should be done by the time I return from vacation.

How much should I expect to pay for a Bandit clutch set up? And can you buy direct from them?
You can buy direct from Bandit. In my thread I posted all the prices. Bearings, new hub, clutch kit, carrier, oil, and O-rings and all was about $600.

Buy it from our sponsor WB Cycles and save a bunch of money. He now carries them.

Pulled my Clutch last night!

I was having issues of the bike creeping while the clutch was engaged and I figured i would pull it last night to see what was going on and it looked just like Jakes pictures here. I do have the earlier 05 Ridgeback so I do have the weaker basket so I'm going to see if BDM will cover it out of warranty. :bang:













Some more pics of the lovely Baker DSSC Carrier!!
This is how it came out of the bike!!
It wasn't making any uncommon noise, the only thing it started doing was wanting to creep at a stop with the clutch in and in gear.
Vet bills... Hate em!!!
