Best aftermarket clutch kit

[Guest]

Hey guys, well my 78 gs750 clutch is slipping and the plates and springs are below minimum spec. Already have the OEM suzuki springs and case gasket but have no idea who makes a good aftermarket clutch plates? Need some recommendations from the experts

OEM plates and Barnett Heavy Duty springs always worked best on my 1000ST. No slip, no creep and no swelling.

buy some good used OEM plates from somebody.
they fit 550-850's.
in the states anyways..

OEM plates are around 20$ each at my local suzuki dealer, not too comfortable with putting in used plates either, does anyone have any experience with EBC plates?

[blowerbike]

used OEM are great but do what you feel best with.
i know of no aftermarkets i would use but that's just me.

Parts Outlaw has the plates for $14... http://www.partsoutlaw.com/oemparts/...8b4dcaa/clutch

If the fibers are worn I'd get new steel plates too. Minor steel plate warpage will make neutral difficult to find.

Thanks Nessism, but after shipping and duty fee's their almost the same price,
That Ebay listing would be perfect rustybronco except for that those plates are for an 80-82, 77-79 gs750 plates are thicker P/N 21441-45000 supersedes to P/N 21441-45001

Why are aftermarket plates not recommended?

Oooops.... Sorry, didn't notice the P/N of that auction.

Try this...

I'm also with nessism. If at all possible replace the steel's at the same time. Bitchfinding neutral when those steels warp.

[one_civic]

Perfect Thanks, last ditch effort here.....does anyone have 8 good used 77-79 gs750 clutch plates?

[rustybronco]
