WHY ????
Seriously Really WHY???
Are you some desert racer Rally God??
If it is to say that you have one? In that instance, save your money and just buy a sticker
If you are going around the world? Just fit a new standard clutch with a new slave cylinder and an 850 final drive (to give you better low speed torque instead of lots of clutch slipping***)
Then all your worries are covered
*** Edit of course unless you have a GSA with the lower first gear

Yes I do have a 1150 adv with lower gear so how do you benefit with a ceramic clutch

Maybe so? "But!" a standard one should still get you to the next place of safety / workshop IF you know how to ride with a worn clutch??
Besides Ceramic ones are Grabby Obnoxious feckers
My pal had a 1200RS that when we eventually went to change the clutch because it Only slipped when hot and when you give it a big handful on an overtake the Flywheel void (is that the right word?) was literally a 1/3rd deep in oil
Yet the big heavy monster drove perfect apart from giving it stick

Because the clutch will still work if you get oil on it ....

Around 7 years ago I bought one on Ebay (new) for £90.00. (For R1100RT)
Made the mistake of putting a heavy duty pressure plate in with it.
Other than the heaviness the heavy duty plate induced, it was magnificent.
Not at all grabby, just perfect.
Had to rebuild gearbox at same time as oil seal at rear of clutch pushrod was leaking, so this was the reason for the original clutch failing. And yes, I rode the bike to Poland and back with oil on clutch and only the occasional slip out of it, but it was annoying.
