    Do you make 2277-25? I would think that it could be cut down on both ends to shorten it into a 2277-19.

    From your question, I can tell that your split bushing must still be attached. The bushing is set into a recess where the diameter of the shaft where the bushing sits is smaller than the diameter of the shaft at the clutch race. In short, you can't press on a new bushing. One thing that you could try is to turn down the existing bushing to the diameter of the clutch race or a few thou larger and then press a new bushing onto what is left of the old one. There may be some pitfalls on this however. The existing bushing may be too thin and flimsy or taking that much stock off of the old bushing may effectively remove the keys holding it to the shaft. If Steve has 2277-25 bushings, you may want to just try and modify them and replace the bushing like stock.

        I received a bronze split bearing from Rat at Harbor Vintage. It does not have the indentation that fits into the slot on the main shaft. My question is, will soldering alone hold this bushing from spinning on the shaft? Or, is not a concern if the bushing does spin on the shaft?

          Believe it or not, I saw the split bushing in the Eastern Motorcycle Parts on line catalog. No retail, but a dealer could order for you........looks to have the indent....

            I just use a VL main shaft and put the brass in the gear. HD thought it was a better idea.
