Foot Clutch measurements

[Rooster]

I have a few 'original' specimens to choose from; one looks just like yours, and the other still has the tab. I also have a repop that looks like yours, which makes me wonder if there isn't a couple different designs here...

Could be the difference between p/n 36811-41 and 36811-65? So which one is "correct for a '64 DuoGlide??

NOS outta the box. 36811-65. Doesn't look like a "backyard repair" to me ... Perry

Well that's nice.
The part number for my rocker pedal is 36811-41. Not the same as yours pictured.
Have a nice day.

Not to start an argument, but merely for the sake of discussion--- the pedal shown in Scoots pic has had the spring tab cut off. It is not "correct". Take a good look in your Spare Parts Catalog, you will not see any pedals that look like that.
If the spring wore through the tab, a backyard repair was probably to hack the remains of the 'tab' off and drill a new hole for the spring. Like I say, I have one that has had that done, and I also have a good one with the tab intact. It's easy to hold one in each hand and compare.
As for replacement pivot rods, Judy (zimalady) at Bills Custom Cycle sells the complete repair kit (including bushings) for $20 or so.

scoot, that looks like whats on my 64.(real similar) like dmac said as long as you can hook up the rod to the back you should be ok.

Rocker Clutch

Scoot,
Your spring is hooked up correctly in your pic. What you're missing is the pin for the clutch rod- "foot lever pin OEM#36886-41". This is a replaceable part as is the upper spring stud- "foot lever bracket spring stud OEM#36871-40" You can look for NOS pieces, or buy re-pops. I picked up re-pops to replace my worn pieces from Lonnie at Antique Cycle Supply, they fit and work just fine. I think there is at least one good close-up picture of the complete rocker clutch installed on a bike in Palmers.

When I was mocking this up, it seemed the clutch was tilled way too far back. When I checked the Palmers manual, I saw all of them have a raised tab for the lower spring mount. Upon closer inspection of my piece, I could see the jagged cut marks were mine was removed for unknown reasons.

I also have a repop that looks like yours, which makes me wonder if there isn't a couple different designs here... However, a quick check in Palmer's book just shows the different doglegs, and of course the shorter pivot shaft. All show the 'tab' that the spring attaches to.

I can trace my part and mail you the tracing, or scan it and email. Send me a PM with your preference. This will be no trouble at all, as the parts are not on the bike.
I'll also have to repair the one I have that has been 'modified'.

I just bought this piece and noticed it has the spring tab cut off. Can someone give me some measurements to aid in how much I need to weld on and where to locate the hole?
Thanks
