Friction plates?

Garvey20031 · Mar 31, 2009

gonna replace my clutch as it does not feel tops at top end.
Been looking about and I have no way on this earth getting my wife to ay yes to a barnett kit so been looking for my trusty EBC ones.
found a set of friction plates for £57. is that good?

Also what springs should I get, Thought I read that the HD ones can be a pain on chainging gear.

Also do you think im going to have to change the steels aswell? never had to on my other bikes:thumbup

So it's got a dodgy clutch? I'm not buying it now.

Garvey20031 · Mar 31, 2009

would make sure its tip top before it goes, but to be honest Im not trying hard to sell it

Rode the long way home tonight on the bike and wow was it great. to many bloody flies on the front of the bike and had to clean my lid :lol

When I cranked it over tonight, it just didnt feel it was pulling like it should and I don't know now long the clutch kits been fitted to the bike so thought kill 2 birds with one stone

Yours is a sweet looker Garv and I doubt you'd notice that much difference with a newer old shape one. Plus it's not a good time to be selling - I can't believe some of the low prices I've been hearing on here recently.
Is the clutch actually slipping? You'll hear it - they often let go under max torque in the mid-range. Wouldn't have thought you'd need to do the steels as well.
Sorry, no idea on the HD springs but haven't heard of them being a weak point so standard ones should be OK. £57 quid sounds pretty reasonable to me.
