Ordered cam chain tensioner and kevlar clutch from DD

[texas-ss-tornado]

I still need to do the cam chain tensioners on my V65 Magna!  JumboBret has kindly offered his services, but he has been a little under the weather lately, so the project waits!  V45 and V65 should be very similar, I got my tensioners from DD also, great guy to talk to!!  Good luck, let us know how it goes, take pictures!!

The tensioners and the clutch have not come in yet so I don't think we should make plans for this weekend.  Plus, I have been away from home on business since Sunday evening and won't return till Thursday evening.

I am in no huge rush to get it done, seeing how I have already ridden it over 10k miles listening to it rattle.  Maybe we can reschedule for a couple weeks away?

if he won't answer, try www.phatperformanceparts.com that is where i got mine from. I like dave and have ordered from him, but he is a one man operation, and either is very busy all of the time or is moving to a different state, etc. I've tried emails, phone calls, messages, etc and if I want to buy somehting that day, well you better answer or i will shop elsewhere. tha's just me though   if you need the part number, i'll dig it up in a little bit, and the one i got included all the friction plates, all the metal plates, all the springs. you will also have to order (from honda, or another honda supplier) a clutch cover gasket. most likely when you take the cover off, the gasket will be in a few pieces. if you need instructions on how to do it, there are some on this site somewhere or I could find them and post them to you.

Dave has moved to Arizona about 2 months back or so.  I have heard other people have had some trouble reaching him.  I bought mine back in March and every time I have called him he has answered.  I have been lucky I guess.

Who has the best price? Who has the best clutch?  Do they both sell Barnett clutches?
Mine is about ready to replace is why I'm asking...

The one I bought, for my 84 mind you, is a Kevlar and came with heavy duty springs.  It is not a Barnett.  Just came in a shipping box wrapped in bubble wrap.  I mostly bought it from Dave as he was so nice.  We talked extensively, more than once, on what I can do to make my bike perform better.
