Just recently replaced mine with Barnett Performance disks. Noticeable difference in shifting. Contact California Phil. He's a site vendor here and great to deal with.

Another option is the Energy One plate kit.

I've done several with this kit and have had zero complaints.

Any problems with them sticking when cold? What oil do you use? Ive had a couple which lurch forward and drag when putting in first, one can even stall the bike. Tried 20W50, 10W40 as recommended and ATF. The thinner oils do help. Never used F+.

stick with B&M Trickshift as recommended
I tried Formula Plus and had the problems you refer to
Cleaned the plates, refilled with B&M and no more problems

I've been running Energy One extra plate kits on my 4 bikes for years, all of them get B&M Trickshift in the primary, never a single issue of the "lurch" or anything else. Now my bikes are all pre-'07, so I do not have to worry about the crap compensator issues. On those bikes, it seems  there are several different opinions on primary fluid, and I've got some friends running Energy One kits and using BelRay Sport Lube in their primaries to help the Compensator, they are not having issues
Need a bigger garage

I've used nothing but Redline primary fluid in mine since day one. Never had the lurch or any comp issues.   :bike:

I use the Barnett Carbon Fiber  302-30-20013

I've probably done a hundred plus builds with Alto Carbonite extra plate kits, and their heavy duty spring. Extremely reliable, no slip issues. I use synthetic atf with the install.

Alto Carbonite plates with ATF in my '09 CVO here.  Works perfectly in all conditions.  Lifetime guarantee to boot.

Another vote for Alto Carbonite.  Held 120 plus HP/TQ with a 380# spring with no issues.

The drag issue may not be the oil that's used but rather the plates themselves dragging on the clutch basket.

Install one plate at a time and check it for dragging. If you find one, just file the offending plate tab to provide just enough clearance so

the plate slides freely.

I've been using Golden Spectro 80 WT. Gear Lube. With the bike upright, I've been filling the primary with 18 oz. of lube.

This is not the gospel, but works for me.

Im with CF. Carbon fiber plates. Smooth shifting no slip with the right spring.
