Skip, two things you might want to ask Herman ...
1) What happens when the hydraulics start to leak ? (Hint : pull the
transmission)
2) How do you adjust the TOB (hint ...) I found it very difficult to
believe, but at last year's Triumphest, Herman stated the bearing had to be
shimmed towards the clutch, and shims removed as the clutch wears.
