Anybody know anything about these or had experience using them? American made, popular with the drag race fraternity, make clutch packs for many different makes, supposedly heavy duty. Any good? Worth the money?

Had one in a GSXR750 years ago (I can't remember which GSXR, but probably my 1989 one), it did what it said on the tin and was cheaper than Suzuki clutch plates, from memory the choices for that bike were Suzuki or Barnett.

Equally it could have been for my tuned YPVS, ended up with heavy duty plates and TZ750 springs in that

Had one in a VTR, did the job and wasn't much dearer than EBC.

Well respected makers of high quality parts. I run a Barnett stainless tipped basket in my Ducati because they last so much longer than the originals. Makes the most colossal racket but much tougher than stock.

But it's a nice racket. Much nicer than a loud can. :)
