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?

It says 8 but I count 7. Are there any aftermarket ones that are decent? The price seems too high...NO PIC THANKS TO FOTO BUCKET FOR BEING RIDICULOUS

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.Originally posted by Grimly View Post'84 GS750EF (Oct 2015 BOM) '79 GS1000N (June 2007 BOM) My Flickr site http://www.flickr.com/photos/soates50/

There is no such thing as price gouging, just the law of supply and demand acting in a free(ish) market.Originally posted by Cipher View Post

FBG fibers are great but unfortunately they are not available in the GS1000 chain drive size. DarOriginally posted by bonanzadave View PostComment

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.Originally posted by Cipher View Post
Anyway, back to clutch plates.
