Cb550 clutch kit
« on: October 30, 2011, 12:47:32 PM »
Does anyone make a cb550 clutch kit with steel plates, friction plates, and springs?

I know barnnet does, but those may be a bit overkill for me.

Perhaps I should just get an EBC friction plate set ($60), 6 OEM steel plates ($7/ea), and either EBC or bernette springs.

Sounds like a plan
" Why does anyone get offended by what someone does to their own bike? I dont get it. "

You made me think about it after I cheered knowing someone else would like to know what these control freaks are up to.
 Every time any owner strips whatever precious Honda part the horrified purists parts go up in value. That's not the part that bothers them.
 What bothers them is they sat up late at night, their breast full of wonder and estrogen, unable to sleep, dreaming about their lovely darling and all her glory... and next thing you know someone else doesn't share their emotional deluge and their reaction is they must spread their mind museum as far as they possibly can, taking over as much of the real world as possible.

Drink fast, drive slow, but ride it like you stole it

Is your clutch shot, or are you just being proactive?? Let us know what you get and how it turns out.

Proactive.

Overbore, 10.5:1, hot cam, ported head, I figure its a smart idea to change them.  They may have been shot... I really dont know.  I rode the bike about 0.5 miles before tearing it open.
