It wont work with the stock shoe. you could use weighted and non weighted flyweights with it depending on how you like it. The red shoe slips less reducing clutch bell heat. because of this the engagement point needs to be higher to eliminate low speed bog and by the time you get the stock spring adjusted into the window it is almost bottomed in coil bind.

If you don't have the shoe you could use glens setup with the yellow serpent shoe.

I will have a hundred red shoes finished next thursday.
Motorman your analysis of the 710 clutch is very accurate. I wore down my first shoe in a weekend and blaming the engine tuning all the time for the lousy clutch engage until I decided to try and cut the flyweights. the change was day and night!! The smile came back to my face. Also the Thrust bearing stated to look fresher

Now I'm going to try with a yellow shoe.

About the red ones that you talk about I would be interested to try one if you intend to sell some.
