Foot Clutch measurements

Most definitely not the one ending with a -65 part number.

Ahhh.... you mean the one that you showed?

I have 2 that are similar to the one in question and one that has a pronounced spring mounting feature. Hopefully the picture will come through.

Scoot...Looking at your assembled picture it doesn't look like anything is missing to me. However when I look at it and then look at my 62 I see a difference in the area where the spring attaches. Mine is flatter in front leading up to the spring whereas yours has a pronounced slope down. Also the offset looks like it might be a little greater than mine although it is hard to ascertain from the picture.

These are the two distinctly different 'shapes' that I refer to. I also have the exact same collection as you, exeric.

Being a stamped part, you'll never know the change-over date unless it was documented in a service bulletin or it had some profound change that gave the part a new part #, or through observation of original bikes, there is a change-over date. Who knows ? The original tool and die could have worn out or broke, or the head of engineering didn't like the original shape.

Yes.... another example of some of the strange things the MoCo did. The copy of a factory photo I am lucky enough to have, shows the little 'tab' area for the spring. So that much I am fairly certain that is correct for a '52.

That clutch pedal is in awfully good shape, is it a V-Twin repop?

The most recognizable feature of as repop is the weld on the end of the pivot shaft. OE parts have a nice circular weld, like you see in Scoot's photo, while repops have a full button-looking weld. At least that's what I've seen...........

I pulled out 2 foot pedals and found neither one has a welded pin, both are peened with a distinct button head look. Both pedals also have a taller nerd for the spring, than in the first pictures. I recently replaced the clutch pull rod pivot stud on one of my pedals with a NOS pin. The original pin had a button look, and so does the replacement pin, unlike the first pictures. I think the pedal is repop.
