VP 92 T
« on: February 13, 2007, 09:03:47 PM »

Was very concerned about clutch slippage and clutch life on the Frontier.

With 140 ft. lbs. of torque @ 3000 and 130 @ 2500 the Frontier was a prime candidate for slippage.


Enter the VP 92 T lock out clutch from AIM.

Installed yesterday and no more concerns!

Honestly Brian   NO
Maybe 35 miles on it after installation yesterday but based on my CC's rep and the infamous DAWG, I'm thinking I will like it.
Will let you know after a few more miles.



And Grover, to answer your question,
"What are you gonna do with all that power?"
Dream about more!
I don't want much, I just want a wee little bit more! :nixweiss:

Come on Chip inquiring minds want to know....

How does it feel with a 5,700rpm 2nd gear launch!!!

Hope all works out well. We'll be waiting for a full report.

Brian,

The only concern you may have is that you may have to dremel the derby cover back side, a bit so that you have clearances there from your 04 derby cover its a must check thing.  There were a few posts about it just cant remember where I read it.

Curious how the clutchplates will hold up with all the power even with the lockout.  Wondering if going with the Pro Clutch and the VPC is the right combination.   We will have to see how long Chips clutch plates hold up to the normal wear and tear they are going to get ...  ::)

Those who may have need for the VPC units in United States can get them from a fellow named (Hippo) Frank, some of you may already know him. His contact info is HippoVPC@gmail.com.

He probalby has the most experience with the VPCs around except for Yasu Watanbi, who is with AIM, the manufacturer.

Oh, by the way I sell the VPC in Canada.

I tried to attach an article by Hot Rod Bike of an install they did of a VPC unit forgot what model, however, the attachment was to large.

If anyone wants a copy PM and supply  your email information and I will get you a copy.

I will try attaching a picture of the VP 92T.

Harry has a good point about clearance. Mine was ok but very close! I have ordered the clear cover and also the spacer so clearance shouldn't be a problem!

I had 6000 miles on one with my last Ultra (non SE).  No problem at all. Easy and quick to fit, worked great at reducing the effort required at the lever.  Sometimes a slightly "strange" feel when you pull the lever in, almost a sort of click being felt through the cable.   But that wasn't a problem.  On the whole it was excellent, but here in Europe they are a little expensive.  I probably wouldn't buy another, because of that, because it's not actually something I need, just "nice to have".
