Hi Kevin,
Just thought I’d drop you a line about the clutch you supplied for my Venom.
I have now done over 16,000 miles (yes sixteen thousand ) in under two and a half years and had no trouble whatsoever with it. I have not had to adjust anything – clutch or belt – and the only adjustment to the rear chain has been two flats on the adjuster.
The clutch is a delight to use - I can operate it with my little finger, it is so light. There has been no hint of slip or drag hot or cold. I have been on holiday on the bike five times to the Lake District, Yorkshire Dales and the North York Moors ( Heartbeat country) and many of the roads have been steep and twisty, demanding a very reliable clutch.
I can thoroughly recommend your clutch to all Venom owners.
Regards, Dave Disney

Morning Kev,
Great day yesterday at Stamford Hall. Thank your Dad for supplying the food etc, I’m sure you’re as pleased with the Velo as I am, it’s really starting to go now. The engine has transformed the riding experience. I found it great fun and the belt drive is superb at transferring the power to the rear wheel, with no snatching or jerking - engine and belt drive are quiet too.
You can quote me:
“It was good to get to know Kevin a little more. I found him easy to get on with and a steady fellow. It was also good to meet Max, who I found to be an exceptionally nice guy, much like yourself of course!”
I’ll be over sometime this week to pick up my bits and deliver my saddle for the silicone implant.
I’ll be in touch,
Mark
