  • Publication number: 20050183922
    Abstract: A clutch assembly includes a hub with a hub friction surface and an inner surface that cooperate to define a cavity. A damper member is situated within the cavity and is in contact with the hub friction surface. The damper member is rotatable with respect to the hub so that relative movement between the damper ring and the hub friction surface results in energy absorption and dissipation to minimize unwanted clutch vibration. The damper ring is located inside the clutch hub so that it does not adversely affect transmission packaging. The clutch assembly preferably includes a member configured to direct lubricant along an inner diameter of the damper member so that it subsequently flows between the damper ring and the hub friction surface and through holes in the hub to lubricate clutch plates.

  • Patent number: 6505877
    Abstract: A portable two-piece motorcycle windshield assembly includes an upper windshield panel having a lower edge and a lower windshield panel having an upper edge with a shape complementary to the shape of the upper windshield panel defining the lower edge. Connector rods are provided for releasably connecting the upper windshield panel and the lower windshield panel together. The lower edge of the upper windshield and the upper edge of the lower windshield mate together in edge-to-edge aligned registration with each other to collectively form a two-piece windshield. A pair of connector brackets are carried adjacent a bottom edge of the lower windshield panel for releasably attaching the assembled windshield to handlebars of a motorcycle.
