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?

Can you get stock clutch plates anymore?
- Thread starter 1980GS1000E
- Start date
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.

I used that APE nut and FBG fibres.
Where did you get your economics degree?
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.

There are lots of NOS clutch plates on ebay for a fair price. Search on the PN...
