Who Manufactured This Slipper Clutch?

Discussion in 'Clothing, Gadgets & Equipment' started by Fohlin, Jan 24, 2019.

  1. Do you know what brand this Slipper is?
    Or do you know for sure what it is not? :)

    Thanks for helping me out!

  2. Looks like a race clutch, you lose 2 spring posts for an external starter. Could be Ducati Performance at a guess so bought in from someone like Bucci. Andy

  3. Yes, but it has no branding or parts number what so ever (not even on the outside of the pressure plate). Can it be an asian copy of a DP? Wouldn't the quality brands use branding and/or parts numbers on their stuff?

  4. If as I suspect, it is a race clutch, it would have a very limited life, probably less than a 1600 km after which it would be recycled in the scrap bin. Not sure if it would have been neccessary to put part numbers and brands on them. I have a new 1098R DP clutch in a box somewhere, I’ll try and dig it out to see what is stamped on it. Andy

  8. Here is a closer look. I hesitate a bit. Doesn't it look like "low quality" finish? (file attached)

  11. What's the brand name on the central bearing?

  12. SKF :) I was thinking the same thing... China = not SKF :)

  13. Great minds etc :) The knock offs use cheaper bearings.

  15. Hahaha! Yes! We can investigate this all night! Ok, we need a whiteboard or something to hang pictures of suspects on!

  17. Just to finish up.
    After spending some time with my whiteboard and investigating things (drawing arrows, hanging pictures etc.), I decided to not buy it. My guess its a good basket, and ok (but cheap or refurbished slipper parts - painted badly). I am sure it works but with missing parts in mind I will go for something else.

  18. Agreed with the others, race clutch genuine or copy, it's got steel ball ramps and the 4 post with locking pins, but it uses a thrust spring and post springs like the old OEM clutches on 748R etc. Also clearly designed for standard plates, hence the basket and centre hub design
