took scoot out today and did around 75-85 miles at all speeds and conditions (town and dual carrigeway), i even held it for 10-12 miles at 85mph and i found this clutch as good as i hoped it would be , its as easy to pull in as a std and can cope with as much grief as you can give it.
i am amazed by the ease of how it handles all thats thrown at it.
thanks lee :P
roll on ireland as the final test 8-)

heres my new "normal power" clutch (cr2) which is aimed at standard to mildly tuned bikes , it currently being fitted to my 24 bhp engine so we will see what happens ! , i think pricewise you will be looking at around £150 , as for by 6 plate full power (cr1) im currently sorting the first ones out :D

Looks smaller than RS125 plates and 8 tabs.

Are these clutches now based of Lifan 125cc Monkey bikes parts like the Siagon one?

Lee,
would they work with a standard Li type plunger / chaincase set -up.

quick update i pulled my motor today to change the drive side oil seal and thought i would check the clutch out while i was in the motor, i am pleased to say there was no wear at all after a very hard 600 miles on final finished unit

on a by note the readspeed 6 plate i was running needed changing after 500 miles as it was worn out , saying that jerome did say that its not designed for a 40bhp motor so i was happy to change as and when i needed to.

hi corrado , after several problems with supply / home etc im finally back up and running , there are some new design features which include an all new cast aluminium basket currently being made to my design , a new lazer cutter is also in place as the last one proved to be slightly unreliable !
as for the five plates , i have a few now in tuned bikes with no issues that im aware of and the 6 plates in the dac lambrettas , so fingers crossed everything now will start progressing !!!
cheers lee
