cb500 clutch kit
« on: June 10, 2006, 10:21:50 AM »
does anyone know if the clutch kit for a cb500 at oldbikebarn.com comes with the clutch plates as well as the friction plates? im pretty sure i need new clutch plates and friction plates all around, and the description just says "High Quality Replacement Friction Plates. The Clutch Kit Contains all the Clutch Plates that your needs." .....thats not even good english. im just hoping one of you guys that has bought one before could tell me. thanks!
