Message	From what I have seen the other chromoly pivots sit higher (thicker washer) and may cause the clutch to prematurely wear out because there is not enough room for the fork to bottom out in the bell housing with this set-up. If you raise the height of the pivot point the fork does not have enough room the retract when the fingers start to rise as the clutch wears. This is the reason I have them custom made to go along with my kit. www.Zspeedperformance.com
