Both were new Barnett units w/springs. I would spend my money elsewhere. They are virtually indestructible, but, they do have issues and fill a very specific niche. They have a very hard and narrow engagement threshold. They grab hard and fast and are difficult to launch smoothly on the street. Maybe for drag racing they would be ok. We don't even see them at road courses. We find the best, most user friendly and cost effective replacement clutches are factory replacement units. I have nothing bad to say about them I guess, I just didn't need them in retrospect. Even the engine builders I know use factory replacements, even after trying the Kevlar units. .02 Edit: one was in a smaller sport bike, the other in a heavier touring bike used to pull a trailer. They both worked ok but were similar in function and practicality. Very narrow engagement window, grabby and difficult to slip when wanted. I don't know as the lower power of the FZ07 requires the extra clutch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markstertt Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 mossrider, that's good to know and I believe I heard similar thoughts in regards to these plates in the past, I'm in no hurry to create issues I don't need...thanks, Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
