Nick Alcocks two triples with the Howdi clutch both failed and he revereted to stock, Howdi refunded the money, which was hugely honourable thing to do, and unusual!, but didn't want the scrap back, Nick also did huge mileage in his bikes commuting 200 miles per day for decades, but the Howdi clutch mileage was not very high at all, the sprag bearing is not a GM part but a standard bearing part, he has the GM part number but they take double what a bearing factor will take, there is no point, in a Laverda triple it does not get sufficient oil, very odd how Levo's one works so well, Howdi did say he was using cast off parts from used transmissions and also new Chinese built bearings, but who cares anyway the stock stuff works just fine, I have two engines rotating in and out of TOG (and a third if you include the race motor) and always used the same stock starter clutch, yes it has had a few parts in it now and then, but never failed when in use.
