Well today I received a set of TPO's Stainless Steel racing springs and installed them along with a new CNC Aluminum pressure plate. All I can say is WOW! I was very pleasantly suprised. The difference is quite noticeable. More solid clutch engagement, no slippage at all even under hard acceleration and high RPM gear changes. SWEET waytogo I am one happy Ducatisti Grin

Got them off ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/TPO-RACING-Stainless-Clutch-Springs-Ducati_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35623QQihZ020QQitemZ300247438539QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Excellent improvement over my rusty stockers.

What's the difference between those and the SpeedyMoto SS springs? I paid the same amount for them...

From what I read the TPO are 20% stiffer. The full description in thier listing pretty much tells it all.

Did you notice a more positive clutch engagement as well?

No, if you noticed a significant imporvement, there may be something wrong with your clutch/clutch line because the stock springs are fine. or your springs were worn. Im going to try and pop 2 springs and see if it slips.

Well, I did notice that my old springs were a bit shorter than the TPO's.  I had about 6500mi on them. Either way I am enjoying the new feel.
