Has anyone attempted to install a Recluse clutch or similar style on an RD? If so what bike was it designed for before you adapted it. I have a lockup but would like to consider something different. Thanks.

Are you looking for a slider clutch which locks up with engine speed to replace a rear wheel speed lock up?

What's available in the Banshee drag race market?

that's an interesting idea. I have a recluse in my KTM 300 and a yxz1000 Yamaha...really cool. I love the one on the KTM but when I switch bikes and forget the clutch I look really stupid (stall/fall over)
I remember seeing somewhere that the RD clutch disc can be swapped with some other Yamaha sportbike but I don't recall which. May be a starting point.

What he^ said. I love the Rekluse in my 300 but can't really see the purpose on a streetbike 🤷🏻‍♂️
Wasting time on 2T forums since the dawn of the internet. '89 TDR250, '23 300xcw, '24 Street Triple RS, '56 Porsche 356A, '88 325is '89 560SL. Too many toys.

Give 'em a call. Hell they make the damn things for Harleys.

pdxjim, its not for street nor do I consider the lockup we have a street unit. I have a Land & Sea engine dyno and do not like the lockup action when making pulls thus the Recluce style/type seems on paper to be a better choice. We too had a Recluse on our 2007 KTM300, bought my son a new WR300 and told the dealer and him he could have $1500. for mods. The clutch was a perfect improvement.
