    Anyone know of a slipper clutch or any other mod to help reduce back torque? I have a 2003 Interceptor...haven't seen or heard of anything but maybe someone has. Thanks!

    Why would you want this ? In my opinion a slipper clutch is only for use in racing to prevent the rear wheel locking up under severe downchanging. Not an applicable requirement for road riding.

    lol. It is if you go into a corner at about 60 mph and go down one gear too many. That was why I wrecked my viffer in April. Forgot I was already in third, downshifted a gear and the ass jumped out cause I didn't have the rev's high enough. I immediately went off-road, then down. Ended up replacing the left front and mid cowl. But you do have a point. For 99% of riding situations, a slipper clutch probably is not a requirement.

    do what racer's did before slipper clutches- blip the throttle during the shift. requires no money just a little self training....

    Yeah I agree with all of you but I was just curious...you know how we love to mod our bikes to make them ours. I don't need it - just wanted to see what was out there...
    BTW I heard about the rear brake PCV recall so I just took my bike in - it was leaking badly and needed immediate replacement/upgrading. I was wondering why the bike was starting to vibrate and the brake stutter when I applied the rear brake. I highly encourage everyone within the recall to get it checked immediately.

    havnt heard of one myself, but I sure hope its on the new model(if ever) as I like it on the ss bike I drive. Quite a noticeable gimmick depending on the roads im on...
