I am looking to buy this clutch. Anyone know anybody running any specials on it or the best place to buy. I want it balanced so.
Thanks

I got a good deal on it from Jesse at Scoggin Dickey. Definitely shop around for the best price. I had McLeod balance it as well.

The RST is good in stock. It was the Original Street Twin for the LS that was back ordered so long because of the Master Cylinder issue.

You want to balance it as an assembly so bring your flywheel, adapter ring, floater, and pressure plate.

Make sure when you index the flywheel and pressure plate
After it's been balanced using either
The blue dycum marks we supplied on the unit
Or add some new marks before pulling the unit
Off the balancer. This way you'll know which way to
Re assemble the unit when it goes back on the motor.

I am told that All the clutch parts should be zero balanced from the manufacturer...if you include them with your rotating assembly for balancing...you may be shooting yourself in the foot if the clutch isn't "perfect"...then you might end up out of balance down the road if you swap clutches. Any unbalance that is caused by the clutch components will most likely be negligible at worst (you'd never feel it and it won't have any effect on your engine). I did already have the flywheel resurfaced and balanced???? Oh and my entire engine assembly has been balanced as well.
