Can't rember where I saw it, but it was possible to eliminate the damper plate,with two steel plates. One where damper plate goes,the other on which end of stack?

I believe you saw that write up over on NGW. One of the English members I think.

Could you give the web site for NGW? Don't remember what the N is for. GW is for Gold Wing, I guess. Will trash damper plate next time I'm in the area. Next tire change would be a real good time.You are close with the rear wheel out of the way. :thanks:

That's the site! Many thank's.
Why would you want to trash it.Does it not make the clutch perform smoother?
I have had to replace mine once do to a rivet coming out,but I dont know if I would sacrifice the smoothness of the wing to save $50.00.Not on the wing anyway.

Less chance of failure and a bit stronger hold.

You have the chain & a big spring on your output shaft to cushion the clutch. Read the posting on NGW for better explation of this. Also they are no longer available!!! Do away with a poorly designed part,& over come the problem of availiblty & make a stronger bike. Sounds like a winner to me
