Clutch basket+plates recommendations

[Rudemouthsky]

   I'm wondering what basket/plates combo you guise are using, how you like it, and what you paid for it.

Bang for buck.

NGR alloy basket (Motowheels)
NGR spring/retainer kit (Motowheels) or Barnett spring/retainer kit (Cal Cycleworks).
Barnett alloy plate kit (Cal Cycleworks)

Use existing drum and pressure plate.  Color the pressure plate with VHT engine paint of your choice.

Run a stock clutch cover. VHT color of your choice.

I looked at that...sorta torn between it, and Ducati OE aluminum baskets on eBay for $119 shipped.

Or a lightly used Nichols aluminum basket for $69 + the Barnett red plates

Lots of negative comments about these Barnett plates...and lots of positive as well.

I'd just buy a used OE basket + plates in decent condition if these sellers didn't have the stones to ask up to $350 for em...ffs.

Buying clutch stuff is a PITA.

Some good deals there.
 If that Nichols basket really is " lightly used", then thats a good price.

You have joined the dry clutch parts treasure hunt!

Some people have complained about the Barnett friction material, but I've never had a problem with it. There are threads going right into it. I run a closed cover so water doesnt get in.  I find the tangs are soft and get hammered before the friction material wears out. Otherwise I do like the feel of those plates. I just hate the noise nowdays.

I ended up getting that Nichols basket for $65, and picked up a new Barnett clutch pack for $147.

The clutch pack had me confused bc of the cheap price, and the listing title......but it's the same sku as both Motowheels and Ca-cycleworks sells, so...I hope it works.

Nice basket. Good score.
Not sure if the plates are correct. They are 1098 plates.

[koko64]

306 25 40002 for M900/SS
306 25 40004 for 1098/1098S
Just checked, think I got it right.
Double check the sku.
I think you have the wrong kit.
If they wont fit sell em on.

Oooh nice catch, thanks.

Coulda sworn I double checked. I'll see if he has the right one @ that price.

Now I'm shopping for a slick looking pressure plate...springs...collars...cover. Sigh. Swore I wouldn't do that, haha
