Need a complete new clutch ... ID'd on Motorworks but which friction plate?

I’ve got a used one you can have. Though it’s probably a false economy.

Thanks mate but i think i'll go for a new one. Not sure which friction plate ... Mikey talked me out of the 'runs in oil' one but there are 2 others..£54 or £76.80 ... IF the dearer one is actually better then thats fine just the Motorworks comment: -"Tried and tested in customer bikes. Choice fitment for our bikes whenever a new plate is required." ... ?

Don’t ask me - I’ve gone for the eye wateringly spendy ceramic paddle jobbie.

...well the shock looks nice now I got the swinging arm back

Made a bit of a cock-up with my rear sub-frame strengthening .... just demonstrating my lack of knowledge :aidan

bloody silencer hits the extra struts ... owe well they'll just have to come off as i'm not waistin my shiny silencer.. won't be my last feck-up I'm sure :augie

If you want to leave the subframe braces in place, I will swap it for my R80ST subframe as I have a different exhaust and would like to brace my rear fram, but I cannot weld.

Would have to wait til after lockdown ends.

... just a thought ...I wonder if it's worth leaving the offside bracing on as i can't see that it interfears with anything...only thinking that the silencer itself may offer an elemant of bracing ... or am i being a bit optimistic?

Time to make a start on this lot

mikeyboy · Jan 12, 2021

Start at the back I guess.
Brake lever is a bit mangled,
Steel shim fitted in wrong place

mikeyboy · Jan 12, 2021

Stripped and ready for cleaning.
The steel tube pictured was glued in place with silicone on the brake shaft,hmmm

mikeyboy · Jan 12, 2021

Next .

mikeyboy · Jan 12, 2021

That doesn’t look good

mikeyboy · Jan 12, 2021

Guess that’s fucked :augie

mikeyboy · Jan 12, 2021

That’s proper grim!

mikeyboy · Jan 12, 2021

Thought it best to give the clusters a quick wash off to see if it’s worth continuing.
Amazing,not too bad

mikeyboy · Jan 12, 2021

Next!
Quick look at the bores to see if they are salvageable.
No chance,
Visible wear lip and water damage.
These will need replating or replacement :comfort

Engine is tight to turn buy hand,even with no barrels/heads
