What about the Saigon Scooters one? I know Pat (the owner) has had one in his scoot for close to two years, and riding through Saigon traffic with means non-stop gear changes, is a good shakedown. When I had a try, the operation is as light as a feather.

This is the clutch I've taken out of mine, Its an old Taffspeed Five plate clutch with a modified clutch sprocket and taffspeed springs. This cured all problems of clutch slip on mine but the limited free space on mine caused a little bit of clutch drag once the plates were hot. But still a good clutch and at a fraction of the price of many others...

The clutch is still in pretty good condition and will be going back in, but the Italian GP spider is going to be replaced with a Foxhat as this cured any dragging issues in my other engine...

Think Pat's is a Taffy tuned 240 TS1.
