OMG Barnett does not know what friction plates, steel plates or clutch springs that go in my bike
here is their e-mail to me
Hi Rod,
I do not list a VT-1100-T. I do list:
1997-06 VT-1100C Shadow
1995-05 VT-1100C2 Shadow/Classic/Sabre/ Spirit
Is it any of the following.
Thanks,
Barnett's

According to Dennis Kirk parts application guide, they're the same for all VT1100 models.
C'mon, it's Honda, would you have expected otherwise?

I just replaced my clutch disc and springs with a kit from Dennis Kirk. They had the complete EBC clutch kit for $74, and the springs were an additional $40.
The shipping was free because the total was over $100.

Stan,
How hard is it to replace a clutch? Looking at my service manual, it looks fairly easy to replace the discs and springs. Mine has 45k and I have never really liked the friction point, and can adjust it no more, so I figure it's about due. I am a fair hand with a wrench and some instructions, I have just never tried it. Thanks, Mike |

Mike,
I don't think it should not be too difficult. Never replaced a clutch on my bike but did tons of other stuff. The Honda shop manual is very detailed and precise. Andy |

Thanks Andy, I think this will be my winter project. I agree with you on the shop manual. The few things I have done with it have been very well described.

evenly 1 turn at a time until they can be turned by hand. You don't have to remove the entire side cover....but just the round cover that houses the clutch
basket and plates.

Rod,
I checked the Honda fiche for your parts, did you ask for a 97 VT1100T, cause if you did it's no wonder Barnett couldn't find it, they don't have it listed until 98. Ted |

No, i told them i had a '98 T. It's still funny that they don't show anything for the "T" go figure.

I know that my '98 VT1100T shares the VT1100C2 ENGINE, but other parts do vary (discussed regarding rear shocks in another thread - the dealer thought all
the Shadow's shared the same shocks, until I pried and pried and got them to compare part numbers).
I also know that when I got an EBC clutch kit from the dealer a few years ago now, purportedly for my bike, it came up a couple of friction rings short. From the graphic at the Bikebandit link above, it appears that to be because the outer two friction rings have different part numbers, and the dealer apparently didn't know to give me those to complete the set. I guessed to reuse the outer rings, but to look at them we couldn't see any difference. As for changing the clutch, the only complication that we ran into is that we had to disconnect the pipes at the headers to move the pipes far enough away to perform the operation. So, before starting the procedure, I would recommend getting replacement crush gaskets for your exhaust headers as I think that those are one-time use only, and they may not reseal properly.

Hi Marpesia,
Say, I just checked with the Russell Saddle people and they are still waiting for you to come by so they can take the "hands on" measurements that are necessary to build you a new saddle. Have a great christmas and a good new year. Bob from Boise
