Zippers VPC clutch
« on: May 05, 2008, 08:18:21 PM »

Has anyone installed Zippers VPC clutch on their bike that has a HD 6spd and if so did they have any issues?  The dealer tried to install and had issues with the clutch not fully disengaging.  Thanks

I use the Tamachi AIM VPC and have no problems. But "Zippers" and "problems" seem to be both mentioned in the same sentence an awful lot. Hmmm! ::) ;)

I thought so, but wasn't sure...  There are quite a few on the site running the VPC clutch.  I have not heard of any that have had issues with it...

Then it should work fine on the newer setup. It's not Zipper's own product. The AIM works fine.

As Hoist and sadunbar said the AIM VPC has worked grat for me on three different bikes.

You purchase them from Frank (Hippo) at HippoVPC@gmail.com.

Could be interference with the inside of the derby cover.

Shouldn't be....no modifications are required to the cover.  Short of it not being installed properly, it is pretty simple and foolproof design...  But, it is possible to install it wrong or not have all the internals lined up...

On some there is interference with the cover.
Just a little grinding and or their cover takes care of that.

Thanks all, I checked AIM's site and they have a template to check clearance.  Not sure if the dealer checked the clearance or not.  I'll check into it!

Photo was taken in March' 05.  No problems in over 25000 miles.  No cover mods needed.  If I can do the install anyone should be able to.  I installed the H-D six speed later.  Easier pull and a much more progressive "feel".  Highly recommended.

Those of you that have a 103 with minor work ie 575 and exhaust.  Did you go with the 84T (stock 103 and up) or 92T (stock 124 and up).

Thanks
