For those following along: despite Maple 🐈 and I’s best efforts, my clutch is ****still**** fucking slipping bad, despite brand new clutch plates, brand new springs, a push rod that looks brand new, and adjusting (and re-adjusting multiple times) my cable.

Starting to get really frustrated. I thought the basket itself looked fine when I took a quick look before putting my new plates in, but now I feel like I should give that another look I guess idkkkk

Update!!!

I fixed my clutch & my kickstarter all by myself which I am really proud of as someone that’s learning all his mechanical stuff as I go!

Unfortunately, I’m still having some other issues, but it is at least rideable enough to make my 5 minute commute to work every day. I’m also fairly confident it’s just because the oil seal behind my points is leaking and causing some misfiring when it gets warm/pushes more oil into there so I’m going to start with that!

We’re getting there, guys. The carb off my truck is also in the shop this week so it’s been a struggle and I am in the negatives financially but it’s going to be so worth it when I have these old gals dialed in 🤘🏻

Almost 30 years old and still have horrible skin 🤷🏼‍♀️ in case you were wondering how rough I look with basically no makeup here you go (I’m sick tho so be nice to me)

Fingers crossed I get my new clutch plates in before the weekend and that they’re the solution to my problem so I can FINALLY ride this hawg for real and go moto camping !!!

Also pls donate to the “get TK a goddamn motorcycle lift” fund, my ole knees can’t handle literally crawling on my basement floor to wrench on this anymore but all my $$$ is currently being poured into my truck :/ I’m just a girl with too many expensive hobbies

Motor swap was well worth the stress, god damn I missed you, even after only a couple weeks, Big Red ❤️ just a few more mechanical things to button up and then it’s onto the MOUNTAIN of body work…. Guess I won’t be slowing down on the overtime at work any time soon

Finally got to actually ride the chopper for the first time!! I’m in looovveeee

It’s not even 100% road worthy yet and it’s only been like a week since I last scooted up the road with it anyway, but it’s officially cold and icy in CT this week and I miss bike stuff :(

Whole new set of clutch plates and it STILL slips. It literally has to be the springs, I cannot see or think of anything else that would cause it. Sigh. At least I’ll be a damn expert on old triumph clutches after this 😅
