Does anyone know of a slipper clutch for the XB series?

Nope.

Folks have talked about modifying existing clutches but the aftermarket clutches for other brands can set you back more than $2000 with some machine shop time (assuming you can find one that can be modified) - with plates and housing, the basic clutch is gonna be about $1300 (Yoyodyne)

The slipper would be a very cool thing - but if you think people have trouble setting up their supsensions to work correctly, just wait til they try adjusting and keeping their slippers properly adjusted!

Get a hold of Brian Nallin at Revolution Performance, I understand that a slipper clutch may be available within two to three weeks. ... Terry

That'd be sweeet if Nallin developed one.

I emailed him last night - can't wait to get home to check my IN box.

Try here...

Granted... This may be a VERY expensive modified clutch from something else but I would guess that a slipper from any IL4 couldn't be modified due to the difference in size.

I'd give them a call at least...

M1,

That is exactly the one. We are not developing it but rather Jens is the man.
