Hey, tighten up your own damn... oh. Okay. 
I've heard the bit about the clutch setscrew: what and where is it? EDIT: Got it, you posted the pix after I started this. Thanks.

You would never, ever find it unless someone told you to check it.... or you went for a big shift and the pedal goes all the way to the floor without doing anything.  |

So I decide to pull off my (torn) shifter boot, replacement on order, and to my satisfaction, my shifter is held on by two beefy 5/16 bolts.
Um, one of which is a half inch out of its socket. Yipes. I think I need to line up the wrenches for a full workout this weekend...

I'll see if Doug can dig me up a picture of how it turned out. You can send your new one to me to make it a convertible or I can figure a price on a base and you could do it yourself if you have a nutsert tool and inserts.

Thanks, I'd like to see it. I will pull mine off to polish it this winter and this might be something I'd like to do at the same time.

Patrickt (and others),
Have you noticed any difference after you installed your turkey pan? Would you say that it was "worth" it?

No, not really (and mine is easily removable so it's not a big deal to check). If I recall correctly, it wasn't so much the TP that limited performance a bit, but rather the smaller air cleaner that you then had to use. The K&N filter though seems to have lessened that impact quite a bit. There is a reasonably authoritative paper floating around, maybe on the SecondStrike web site, that analyzes all of that. Using a K&N filter with the TP gets you pretty close to the performance of no TP and a bigger air cleaner. |

Didn't think about the air cleaner aspect of it; thanks.

Any luck on digging up a pick of this? I'm pretty interested.

Face it, Doug. You ain't gettin' the Turkey Pan and you ain't gettin' a service manual.  Just not in the cards, buddy. You may get some lip service, but that's all.  |

I should have been faster on the draw and taken the one that Kirkham put up on the "pay it forward" thread, but then again, I don't really "need" one since I have one. I'll sort the T-Pan out, but the service manual may be left to my heirs to sort out....
