Default My new Ritech clamp arrived today

Just received a new coolant tank cap and a Ritech clamp from Rah-jah today.
Hope the coolant tank cap cures my intermittent overheating and the Ritech clamp keeps my thrust bearing safe! Thanks Rog!

Who makes that clamp? Looks very beefy.

I've got the PKlamp on mine, and I've wondered about the weight of the clamp causing balance problems. How fast does the shaft spin in the tube? Does the weight of the clamp make any difference?

Have one on my GTS and had it up to 160 with no ill effects.
Overall the clamps are fairly symmetrical so I doubt they make any difference.
The SuperClamp is way bigger and no ill effects there.

Ritech in the UK and 928sRus sells them in the USA. Amazing design as it makes it impossible for the shaft to move at all. And you do not need to drop the TT and Gearbox to fit it. Plenty in stock now for $250.
