Clem's Kawasaki
I was trying to contact Clem's today to send them my stock oil pan after installing there cut down pan. There web site is down and their number is disconnected.
Looking thru the mail I opened one from OSR. In it was a flyer saying Clem's Kawasaki is now Old School Racing. Tomorrow I will try calling them. Here's their new number if anyone need's it. 317-523-4049. Their web site is www.osrbikes.com. This may be old info. but it surprised me.

James, I read on psychobike that Clem's Kawasaki was finally closing its doors due to poor economy but was still going to be doing some work under the Old School Racing name.

It certainly wasn't from poor customer service. Sad to see this dealer close.

hey guys this is Shannon Clem-- yes it is true that we did close the dealership down- it was just getting to be to much in this economy-- the kawasaki side of things was doing nothing but costing us money--- when bikes don't sell it makes it hard to justify that big floor plan payment-- so after 40 years we decided to shut it down.
Now we are OSR Bikes & Motors with a focus on performance-- still the guys working--same great customer service--- same great oil pans and more.
Now that we don't have to worry about all the overhead we can just play with performance stuff-- streetbikes, dragbikes, micro and mini spring motors.
Not sure if I can actually post our new info on here but it was correct in previous posts-- check out the new site-- if you got any pics of bikes with the oil pan mod or any other work we have done send me a pic so we can post it osrbikes@gmail.com
Thanks to those that supported clem's-- i hope to continue to do business with you at OSR.

Hey Shannon, Thanks for the quick kickback. I will send you my stock pan asap if you could use it. Your pan has allowed me to lower the bike another inch. Again thanks for great customer service.
