I personally like the extra clutch vent on the exhaust side. I cant tell in the pictures but I bet they are not plastic. Looks like a custom milled effort. When you hinted to the project last spring I could not believe that you would use a 84. Glad you cleared that up. Very nice sled.

I have an 83 with a 583 in it also. I did not build it but found it that way. Lots of bugs and fine tuning left to do, but it does move out nicely.
I certainly was impressed with the way you rolled the chaincase and the custom bracketry you made to keep the clutch center to center where it needed to be.
