I've got a 4mil(ported stockers on race gas) with a dunable override. However, i use Vito's style of slingshot. Works great and doesnt slip. I dont know my power level but it's not on par with cubs for sure. I put more ball bearings than recommended just for the hell of it. I've got some before video of my bike and you can hear it slip it's butt off. I slapped in the slingshot and it was perfect.

 

The ONLY thing i dont like about the slingshot styles is you have to tip the bike over on it's side. But for the price it cost, i dont mind.

You have to tip the bike on its side for the finger style lockups too.

In that case, it's just part of having a lockup i guess. thanks for the info fouled.

 

Well.. you can leave it straight up with both lockups.. but you'll spill oil everywhere. You gotta tip the bike to get all the oil to the other side of the cases.

 

But.. the undercover slingshot I have wont fit through my Modded cover where the standard style slingshot and the DD (Finger stlye) lockups would fit through.. So I have to drain my coolant before I mess with the clutch since I have to totally remove the cover to take off the lockup. I could leave the cover on with the other styles when doing clutch maintenance.

Oh i see. Mines the undercover style as well., but it fits since i have the OEM cover. No bling here:(. I rather the looks of the see through window type but that was over $100 more. That's another good reason to tip it over, saving the oil.

 

At least if you have the finger type, you dont have to go chasing ball bearings all over the garage floor when they spill haha.
