clutch replacement

well, done with the scotts weld on, linkage and swingarm pivot overhaul (works so smooth i'll probably have to turn up the damping), front end springs, bushings, and midvalve mod, now for the new clutch. any clutch install tips? how about torque specs for the springs? also, i didn't have swingarm/pivot torque specs. oh yeah, i repacked the head tube bearings as well :)
thanks for any info

While I do not have the torque spec on the clutch, you're going to want to be very gentle.  Many a clutch basket has been ruined by over-tightening the cluch bolts, as it snaps off the basket tower.  I use a 10mm T-handle, and just snug down as I would the case bolts when I split the case.  Never had one back out yer. I am sure the torque is light.  Paul probably has the spec.

Use Extreme Caution.
