I was just wondering why anyone would replace the clutch pressure plate when the old one worked just fine?

Theres 3 main reasons atleast for me
a) because if you ride without a clutch cover, having a plate that protects the post is very important and could save your clutch posts if you went down.
b) becasuse of the bling factor
c) to ward of zombies.

Well I wanted to replace my pressure plate because the clutch was so noisy. It also made a strange whining sound that I have not heard before on my other bikes which have wet clutches. For example my Moto Guzzi California which is an awesome ride and is very quiet and unassuming. I don't ride the Duc much anymore since it is so noisy with a lot of mechanical clatter which is prone to distract and annoy automobile drivers. And since the bike is yellow, I noticed my dog regularly lifting his leg in the general realm of the clutch area. That may also explain the acidic decomposition and corrosion present on the old clutch pressure plate surface, another reason for replacing the old plate. When I replaced the pressure plate I got busy and forgot to line up the notched post with the notch on the new plate. Even though the clutch went to together fine, when I test rode the bike, the prone position piston launched out of the cylinder head and struck a bicyclist in the bike lane, fatllay injuring him. Now facing jail time for unintentional homicide, joking about deadly zombies in relation to clutch problems like that is (are?) not funny.

Sooo, the piston shot out of the cylinder head, went through the tyre and wheel, and still had enough force to kill someone?

Seriously I would like to comment on the point of tightening the spring tension Allen bolts to the correct torque.
I over-tightened the spring bolts and found that the pressure plate did not line up equidistant all 'round with the clutch out, because the depth of the bolts varied due to uneven tightening torque.
I corrected by using a dial gage against the plate flats and re-snugging the bolts with equal reading on the dial gage as the engine was rotated with the clutch out (using an assistant).
Due to legal difficulties I could only do this on a conjugal visit.

Those aren't Bananas. They are zombie warding garlic knots (the kind you find at a pizzeria).
Iraq...hmmmmm your right we challenged Iraq to the DSRL!!!!!!!
I know exactly WHAT i'm dealing with. A ZOMBIE. as noted you messed up the alignment thus zombies came to attack you and now you are one of them. Makes sense doesnt it?
May I ask, are you the Resident Evil type? or the 28 ddays later type? RE = Pistols and Shotguns, 28 days later = assault rifles and grenade launchers

The bolts clamp the spring caps to the posts, they should be tight.

Just had to comment re: lining up the notch.
I only just found out about the notch and it's corresponding post within the last week. I've had pressure plates off multiple Ducatis, multiple times and never knew to line that up. I think the odds of me lining up the notches by accident each time would be astronomical.
That leads me to believe that most of the time (if not all of the time) I reassembled things without lining up the notches.
I've logged many thousands of miles with things put together that way.
I have not, to my knowledge, been eaten by zombies and I am not, to my knowledge, currently a zombie myself.
My point is that I don't think the notch matters.

Your use of the word make the beast with two backs comes through loud and clear.
