    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

can anyone recommend a site to purchase after-market replacement clutch plates and springs? so far I've only found JCWhitney.com that offers those parts for my bike and the selection is limited with even less info.
1980 GS550E
 
I would watch ebay for some new old stock ones. I just bought a set for my 700 for $20 off ebay. It came with the springs and the plates. Works great too, but you may have to wait awhile before someing good comes up. I would also check what other bikes use the same clutch plates as yours and look them up on ebay too for plates.

i was hoping for something..... grippyer... than stock, i've found a few websites (and the suzuki shop in town) that i can get stock plates from fairly cheaply ($50 bucks for a set (with a warrenty), plus $10 for new spring set). Hopin for something sporty....though it's quite possible i'll just be opening a can'o worms with the the trany

I've had a set of Barnet's in mine for years, (with a ton of drag strip abuse) they work great.
 
I got as barnet set of plates for my 650 for 99 + shipping from sum of all parts on ebay.

sumofallparts is their handle.
 
yeah checked him out ...... no dice for the 550.... not sure which engine sizes share the same size plates.......
 
Try Denniskirk.com. I got EBC clutch plates from them for my 1100. EBCs are just like stock plates which I found to work best. I tried the Barnett plates & they were very "sticky" & shifting was difficult with them.
