     I have a used oem clutch shell for a belt final (chain primary) Shovelhead. The bearing surface is in pretty good shape but the clutch dogs rivets are loose, some more than others. These are kind of rare and pricey to replace. Any idea if the rivets holding the clutch dogs can be repeaned or just replaced? Thanks, Bill

You can repeen them but they will most likely loosen up again fairly soon.
You can get new rivets from JP's or most likely HD.
You'll want to see if the rivet holes have elongated also.
