Best kit if you are looking to improve the clutch appearance and durability
About quality and texture - The reinforced 6 clutch disc kit from Kitaco is made from aluminium, steel and fibres with a lovely machined surface finish on the outer rim, the quality from the overall fit and finish is perfect. About the feeling of use - The reinforced 6 clutch disc kit would have to be the best kit if you are looking to improve the clutch appearance and durability over the original setup. Would have also been nice if all six posts had been drilled and tapped to accept the corresponding aftermarket clutch lifter plates. Products to buy together - A key product to purchase when upgrading the clutch system is a set of heavier clutch springs. There are varying degrees of aftermarket clutch springs available, just depends what suits you. Difficulty of installation - The installation of the reinforced 6 clutch disc kiti is an intermediate task that took 1.0 hour to complete. Some mechanical aptitude and the use of special tooling and basic hand tools is what is required to access the engine internals and assemble the clutch kit to secure onto the main shaft of the tramsmission. Cost performance and comparison with other products - I find the cost of all the products Kitaco sell to great value when compared to what most other companies sell their products for and the reinforced 6 clutch disc kit is no different. About shipping and packaging - With there being no significant cost difference between sea freight and EMS for the reinforced 6 clutch disc kit, I chose EMS for an earlier arrive date. The part was extremely well protected while being covered in bubble wrap and surrounded with air pillows in a sturdy cardboard box. Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing - Webike Japan is the first place I look to for all my motorcycle needs. From service parts to performance products and even motorcycle gear and apparel, Webike always seem to satisfy my needs in regards to availability and pricing. View detail
I could feel the effects I was hoping for!
I haven't finished breaking in the car yet, so I don't have a good feel for it yet, but first of all, the start of the car has changed. I have not revved up to high rpm, but I am sure it is fun in all ranges. I think it is an exaggeration to say that it might have bore up the engine, but it is the parts that make me feel like that.

Great Replacement
Really great for changing from standard ones to this, with heavy duty design, and less mantainance, don't have to worry about the clutch for a long time. View detail

Reinforced 6 Clutch Disc Kit from Kitaco
* About quality and texture, Included in this kit is the clutch pressure plate in aluminium as to is the clutch center comp. with it's nicely stamped Kitaco logo. Along with 6 clutch friction discs and 5 clutch plates. * About the feeling of use, Even with the Kitaco clutch lifter plate and 60% stiffer clutch springs the Honda OEM clutch assy was starting to struggle with the increased performance of the BBK. This kit has now resolved that problem entirely. * Products to buy together, While I was going to have the clutch cable end accessable for this installation I thought it was time to ditch the thin stamped steel Honda OEM clutch cable receiver and also purchase the beefy machined aluminium one from Kitaco * Difficulty of installation, This was the first clutch installation I had done and found learning the process interesting. The included Japanese instructions were not very helpful and reasearch was required elsewhere for me to feel confident to complete the job myself. The process was completed in 90 minutes with some difficultly. * Cost performance and comparison with other products, Kitaco do make fantastic products and I find the pricing of this 6 clutch disc kit very competitive but there is a cheaper option for just a 6 clutch friction discs and 5 clutch plates from SMR if you want to re-use some of the Honda OEM parts. * About shipping and packaging, I am happy to wait 6 weeks on average for my parts to arrive in Sydney Australia via Webike's sea freight which comes with tracking and insurance so I know I'm covered in case something was to go wrong but with there outstanding bubble wrapping and boxing there have been no problems. * Any concerns, cautions, or advice when purchasing, If your clutch is still completely stock then you will also need the Kitaco reinforced clutch lift set to pair with this kit.
