Very curious with the amount of manufactures selling basically the same thing has anyone had issues with one brand or the other or do any of the brands perform better then factory.

Stock usually work just fine.  If you want a little more bit add HD springs.  Dong the clutch hub shifting mod helps a bunch as well.  Some drag racer use Barnett.  They grip like crazy, but have a tendency to stick if you let the bike sit.  They come un stuck after the bike warms up, but it can be annoying.

I'm using the APE extra plate kit. With a few breakin miles, they seem to have good action. Did not like the long springs supplied. I'm using some non-OEM shorter springs of unknown origin. Maybe Barnett.

I have HONDA plates with Barnett springs in my CBR (Classic Bonneville Racer) and they work great.
