I'll second that. Had one for a few years with no problems and feels very very easy at the lever.
It was your clutch col265 setup that I was thinking of when I wrote " The Reedspeed setup is also very good" ... Very light action on yours...

... Good advice is to buy only what you need spending only what you have to.... If its a 35 bhp monster of an engine then you will need the very best you can buy... If its 20- 25 bhp The Foxhat or reedspeed 6 plate setups will do perfectly, allowing a very light clutch with alot of grip and a very good feel as the clutch gets a grip, not snatching on either setups... and with no drag at all, if fitted correctly... both very good

we have used the readspeed in a 46bhp motor with no problem. i always try to fit the best available at the time of build ,you know then it is going to work everytime with no playing about . i for one dont enjoy taking motors apart to replace inferior products with slighlty better ones only to find out you need even better.
simply buy the best and that will take all power upgrades you can do

0-GT clutch
1-foxhat (?)
2- tino Sacchi 6 discs ergal spider kit is a good alternative.

In all honesty I would believe the foxhat setup would work up to and well in excess of 30bhp... but as I have never tuned or built anything that powerfull, Therefore I couldnt really say what would be best much over 25bhp... I would use the Foxhat spider in any engine I put together, It really is the best clutch spider Ive used to date... But I dont know if the plates in mine would take 35 bhp.... Let alone 46 bhp..

I'm using a new Saigon Scooter Centre Japanese 5 plate clutch conversion on my RB20, a lovely light action especially with a nylon cable and dog leg lever. I think it's base on a NSR Honda clutch. Bulletproof & highly recommended (and cheap too).

fancied one of these after seeing it in sweden . after closer inspection at kettering i decided not to buy as i was worried bout the rivets letting go . still fancy it if it was constructed better

£300 for the readspeed which is a bit lumpy but only fits GP,s although there may be a pressure plate upgrade.....

I am very satisfaid with my cam-lam 6plate. I change the springs to some softer, the rest is standard bits. Works perfect on my RB22!
