Clutch Kit: Experience/Opinions

[Herd]

Hey guys, does anybody have any experience with this kit?

For $40, it sounds like a steal. It includes friction plates, steel plates, and springs.

Never used it myself. If you are selling the bike, that kit sould be fine. If you are keeping the bike, I'd suggest spending more money on quality parts.

Right on. Thanks, Dave. I will most likely be selling it to build the next one.

I didn't even know the stock plates were aluminum. Learn something new everyday.

I'd have to agree with Dave. If you plan to repair & sell or if you plan on using your bike like me. Not a daily driver but something to play with around town to run short errands & hit a few of the local car shows. I may pick these up myself. But for a daily driver or heavy duty uses I think I'd go for something more high performance.

EBC make good stuff.

Ordered the kit. Figured WTH. And... it's junk. Plates are thin. Both the friction plates and the steel. The springs are weak. I ended up using the friction plates anyways, as they were slightly better than the old ones.

Thanks for the update, I'll stick with EBC
