How many miles on it, and have you been riding it hard and making it slip alot? Unless you have burned the steel plates they can most likely be reused. I've done OEM and Vesrah clutch parts before and had no issues with either. From what I understand the Barnett clutch springs are made for drag racing and are unnecessarily hard for street use. Now with a hydraulic clutch you probably won't notice extra lever pressure. On the 650 it has a reusable o-ring gasket, so hopefully a 700s owner will answer the gasket question. You might need a clutch hub nut socket, you might be able to buy one from Motion pro, or make one from a socket if you even need one at all. Honda did a couple of different designs on clutch some require the removal of the center nut, and some don't.
These are the notes and pictures I took when I did my 92 750, I chose Honda OEM on that one. https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/+AllenThomas101/albums/5497956138734576657 On Mon, Sep 15, 2014 at 2:03 PM, 750S <dhamm...@nf.sympatico.ca> wrote: > Getting ready to buy a new clutch kit for my '85 Nighthawk S.
