Clutch plate kit

[Blue_magician]

What brand has the best clutch plate kit parts for the 1978 gs1000? I can’t find a Suzuki one

EBC is acceptable. Or you can get OEM from eBay

I've got Caltric plates in all 4 of my old bikes and they have held up well.

Don't know if Barnett is still around but the steels in that kit ate up by basket like a soup and sandwich!

Thank you guys for the input, yeah Barnett is still around and one of the brands I was looking at so good to know not to use.

I have Barnett kits with Heavy Duty Springs in a couple of my bikes, 1000's of miles later (8000 on one bike), still no problems. They've been in business for a long time, if they burned up, they wouldn't be in business 20+ years.

I’ve taken apart the clutch and found two friction plates in pieces, tracked down the pieces of one but still looking for the other one’s parts. Why is there a thinner width friction plate and a thicker width friction plate?

it looks like the basket is gouged a bit from the broken plates. Any help tracking down a new inner clutch hub I’d appreciate. On suzukipartwarehouse it says they aren’t available anymore the part number is HUB, SLEEVE
