Should I replace the transmission with a newer one or preserve originality of the bike and keep the archaic, poorly designed old one? The 4 speed gearbox is very similar but I believe I have to replace the whole thing in order to upgrade the clutch, which is very different form ones produced after them.
On my bike, a 57 indian tomahawk 500cc twin made by RE, the clutch cable hooks right up to the top of the clutch and is the only thing preventing me from upgrading just the clutch itself. If there was a way to fit a newer clutch on the old gearbox I would. Any input or solutions?
(my clutch fitting, will provide schematics from shop manual and pics of mine to anyone who knows their 500cc clutch/gearbox shit)
