Hey, These Guys are the Best in Town!!!!! Seriously!!!! I broke what could not be broken!!! I was about to throw it into a lake and hope some watery tart would fix it.
It all started when I was on the R1 Forum and they said -- "That Graves Clutch install is easy!!!!" that's if you are Yamaha Certified Mechanic from Japan!!!!
So in my infinite wisdom - I thought I would take a crack at it. This is what I ended up with:

So I thought about it for a while(self reflecting) -- what was I doing wrong???

Soon as I opened the Clutch cover - I knew these people would be outside of my house:

I called Jim (TFOG) and gave him my life story (blah blah blah - clutch cover - clutch cable/arm - blah blah blah) :
Jim calmed me down and talked me out of doing this:

He was really cool about the horribly/stupid stuff I did to it and said "bring it on up!!!" I was shocked
He didn't laugh at me!!!
After a couple of days I got a called saying it was done!!!!

He told me the problem - and he gave me a great price!!! He didn't hold me at gun point like some of these Stealerships would do:

I am so happy:
My bike will look like this again:

Hopefully I will be able to do some "track days" this Summer:

even if I am forced to be an unmbrella girl
I am so happy - with the money I saved- I might want to go get a Tattoo or something:
