i've sorted the basket, get em while they're hot! vee two in perth are selling them off at $88 for an alloy basket, they don't have many left though, just need the plate set now.

When i was looking for a new clutch recently gowies here in Sydney sell surflex http://www.ducati-gowanloch.com/

Ended up getting the procutting basket and barnett clutch pack from Desmo times http://www.desmotimes.com/
Desmo all so have surflex.
Have a read on what he has to say about the different clutch packs some good info.

no worries spider,
dragon, desmotimes no longer offer surflex, and i won't use barnett, too many dramas in the past with setting them up, the surflex pack works with no dramas at all and if that means a bit more cash then so be it, i can't deal with agro over shimming clutches.
rob, looked at the desmotimes site, good info, shame i can't get a surflex from them, oh well.

Bugger! I got my basket/clutch pack from him not more than 4 weeks ago or thereabouts! 

Must've just sneaked in on the last of the supply, phew!

Hey Paul i can't see any drama with the barrnet clutch pack i just put it in as per the instructions not rocket science workes fantastic.

You could try STM. Lots of $$ though.

I need a new basket and clutch pack and had a 48 tooth one on my last monster. I'm wondering if its worth shelling out for the extra $$.

Any opinions?

[loony888]

i have a stm slipper clutch in my 888 and it's really good. uses a SPS clutch pack and i've only had to fiddle with the stack height after the engine was hotted up, dunno why.
rob, yeah, i know it's easy, i've done heaps of them on mine and other guys bikes and the only times i have struck trouble was with a barnett kit, both times the stack height was hard to get right so i just don't want that agro if i can help it.
