  1. Why would anyone need a lightweight wheelnut socket??

  2. So, Antonye, will your stainless clutch springs work nicely with my newly acquired Ducati Performance pressure plate, with similar lever pressure to my oem springs??

    '03 999

  4. Sorry, only just seen this!
    Next time if you put an @ symbol in front of people's forum names it will send them a notification that they have been mentioned. Like this @Old rider

    The stainless sets have identical properties to your 2003 999 oem clutch springs and the same sized spring collars as well, plus stainless versions of the post bolts, all for half the Oberon price. HTH.

  7. Have now got the gold Ducati Performance pressure plate. Also the stainless springs, bolts and alloy red caps from Antonye and am awaiting delivery of this:
    CNC DUCATI DUCATI CLUTCH COVER 916/1098/998/999/748 | eBay
    It's similar to the Oberon alloy cover in that it echoes the y-spoke pattern of the wheels. Will report on the quality when it arrives.
    Have also got some lithium grease to try the lithium grease mod while I'm in there.

  8. WOW!
    The doorbell just rang and it was a parcel from China!
    The box felt empty but it had the alloy y pattern clutch cover in it that I 'won' on eBay only last Thursday.
    I didn't pay for it till Friday and here it is today.
    The quality seems first class, beautifully machined with a black anodised satin finish.
    Less than thirty quid plus a tenner or so in postage and arrives in five days with no customs hassle.
    How do they do that??

    Here's a pic of the clutch installed with Chinese cnc cover, Ducati Performance pressure plate, Avanti stainless springs, bolts and anodised caps.
    Inside are Suzuki GS650 pattern friction plates, which have been cooked at 200c with lithium grease until the smoke stops (the lithium grease mod).
    There is also an additional friction plate beneath the first, bottom plain plate (the quiet clutch mod)
    I discovered that the existing friction plates were already aluminium but must be sintered with ferrous material as the magnet I was using would just about pull them out.
