If you meant Atlanta I am in East Tennessee. I could be wrong but I don't think you will find anyone in the area that knows these bikes like me.

I do sell the Pingle stuff and have helped set up some kits for customers. I may have a bracket or two left on hand. Probably even some air shifter kit stuff and air/electric kill components. Email me at [email protected]

Sounds like you have the double-disc (DD) OEM times two doubling-up on the single-plate VMax diaphragm clutch. Get a clutch cover gasket, open the right-side clutch cover, and remove one of the two diaphragms, and replace the clutch cover. You won't lose much oil taking off the side clutch cover.
