huh,
i thought i did post my opinion?
his basket is beat down...ray Charles could see that.
install a nice stock basket and ride it like miss daisy or get a non grooved basket and have a HD kit installed.
better yet find a nice used HD basket and keep the change.

Observations from my clutch rebuild:
I had a major clutch ratling at idle, and decided to investigate it.
And , I found a major failure ,or I will describe it as a design fail, because the clutch hub itself realy ratle alot, and the reason was that the 3 pcs of nit/bolts that keep the clutch assembly together was about 1,5mm higher than it should.
The solution was to make 3 pcs of plane rivets 1,5mm thick 16,5mm inside and 26mm outside to shim up for the mismatch.
Weld all together , and just better than new.

The origin design is OK until the springs that are pressed to the clutch basket grinds of enough material of the basket to let the basket start ratle...
Simsalabim ... !! :-)

One more update...

First, I appreciate everyone's feedback. I'm an Engineer by trade and I'm always amazed at how many different opinions folks can come up with in meetings. But I'm always right, of course...

Anyhow, after reviewing all the opinions and looking at options I figure I'm not even sure the bike actually runs yet. So just as an interim step to bring the bike back to life I decided to use the best parts from my two bikes. I've installed the basket from my parts GS1100E with the hub from the original ES. Steels were still fine in both bikes. But I did install new fiber plates. Also used the clutch springs from the parts GS. This will, at the very least I hope, move the bike closer to being back on the road. Clutch is sure a lot easier to pull now.

Once I'm sure the bike will actually run and be rideable I'll look at a proper solution for the clutch. I really like those APE billet clutch hubs. I think that might be a nice fit... :)

Do you mean the rivets - like the 3 that show on this hub:
