Day before yesterday was heading to work. Round 90mph on rt.22 I heard a clank and figured I ran over something on the road. Then I touched the clutch with my shin and "CLUNK" it snapped down to the floor! UH OH! Slowed down and blew a couple stops but made it to work in 3rd.
Lunchbreak I found the fork rod hanging with about a 4in. 3/8-24 threaded sleeve and a jam nut and nothing on the fork....even the fork return spring was missing.
I fabbed a concave washer and a convex washer on the lathe (when I shoulda been working hehe) and held it all together with a too long of a bolt and lockwasher. And no return spring..... She made the 24mi voyage home rigged up like this but obviously clutch is slipping in 2nd and 3rd a bit.
My question is.... does anyone have any pics of how this linkage is supposed to look? Book is showing in order from the z bar....fork rod, locknut, washer, insulator, fork. Does anything hold it to the fork or is it just fork return spring pressure? (which is also missing) Also, does anyone have dimensions and info on the washer, insulator and return spring? Work tomorrow so no time to order parts so I figure I'll limp it to work and make them and I could prolly run over to napa and get a workable spring as long as I have an idea what size to get.
Thanks!
