You can get a Readspeed 5 plate kit for £50 and you can still use all your other standard clutch parts. I'd swap over the supplied springs for MB ones (personal preference) and you'll have a lovely light clutch for very little money. Add the cost of a new clutch cable, oil and chain case gasket and you'll have change from £100. Why over egg the pudding when there's no need to?
Agree. It's all relative. Spend accordingly.

There's no need for Porsches or Aston Martins but they're out there.

There is if you want a two seater with a shed load of luggage space that's quite fast, reliable and handles like a go-kart.

So, if you needed a little runaround to take the wife shopping once a week, you'd buy an Aston or Porsche? My point is, buy what suits your needs, not your desires. Yes an LTH clutch is a lovely thing, but in a bog standard LI150, it would be a total overkill, but in a 30HP motor, it would be perfect.

Depends on how much disposable you have - that's exactly what a good many expensive motors are bought for.
