Looks like you shimmed the springs?
Any details?
Shim sizes, whatever?

I found washers of the right size and thickness to take up the slack in the springs. The lighter springs didnt need much at all, the thicker ones were quite loose. The washers were 1/4" inside diameter, not sure about outside, maybe 5/8".
I never used an angle ginder before, its a nasty, loud machine, got one at a local hardware store (Canadian Tire) for $29. I might not use it again so I might return it and get my money back
This spare basket i got was in better shape than the one currently on the bike, so it should be a big difference.

So it is interesting to know

It looks like you did not change the backing plate but rather just had the rivits welded and spings shimmed. Did you notice a reduction in clutch clatter with only the welding and spring shimming?
That is certanly a lot cheaper than the Gorilla clutch upgrade.

This is from a 750, I didnt think the Gorilla kit would fit, their site doesnt say if any of their stuff fits the 750 even though I know some of it does. I know the rivets are different size, mine are 9mm or so.

Did you get it balanced?
