Barnett clutch conversion kit for a '99 R1?

[saltydog]

Hi team, seeking some advice from anyone who has one of these aftermarket kits installed.
"The kit converts your diaphragm spring clutch system to a coil spring system"........and with Barnett fibers and steel plates I'm assuming this will be heavier (to engage clutch?) and heavier duty, ie longer lasting?
With the dollar so high the price for the Kit and Kevlar fibers and steel plates is a only about $390 landed.
If anyone can shed some light id be stoked to hear some opinions......

Or shall i just get oem fibers, plates and springs for $380?

Oh what shall i do? 273018

I did the clutch on my 01 R1 last year. bought the stuff I needed from ebay and the whole lot cost about half that.
has stood up to plenty of abuse since then, i.e. trackdays etc etc. keep shopping around

Cheers for that, did you get the spring conversion kit as well?(the attachment pic) or just the fibres, plates and springs?
The fibers and plates with springs all OEM are easy to get and cheaper.....probably similar price to what u paid.
Anyone else out there....?
