    Can you get stock clutch plates anymore?

    I am in need of fiber plates for my bike and am coming up empty on stock stuff.
    I know to stay away from Barnett, but what is the best choice for street use?

      It says 8 but I count 7. Are there any aftermarket ones that are decent? The price seems too high...

        Fiche says 7 steel 8 friction
        Price probably reflects gouging arising from scarcity of stock

              Count the plates in the graphic. I count 7 friction plates.

                EBC has always been my go to replacement for clutches. If you order a kit they come with springs that are pretty much a stock replacement meaning you don't need to be a gorilla to pull the lever in.

                    There is no such thing as price gouging, just the law of supply and demand acting in a free(ish) market.

                          FBG fibers are great but unfortunately they are not available in the GS1000 chain drive size. Dar

                            You don't need an economics degree to understand this, it isn't rocket science. To call it 'gouging' assumes there is some morally/ethically correct price or profit level. There is no such thing as long as both sides of the transaction are there voluntarily.

                            Anyway, back to clutch plates.
