Which clutch basket is better
« on: February 15, 2021, 09:11:48 AM »
I have 2 baskets. One is the old 550 version and the other is the updated version with the double steel plate and the 1 friction plate with the bigger tabs.

Is one better than the other? Or about the same.?

I though all 550 had the same top plate but not necessarily the double steel, could the other one be a 500?

Double steel plate was an upgrade on CB750 so it might be so for other bikes too.
Maybe more needed when engine is modified for more power. Otherwise a design to reduce rattling noise.
