For $170 you get the spring, clutch plate, gasket, full set of friction plates. If you don't need/want the friction plates then cost is only $95 for the HEAVY DUTY CLUTCH DIAPHRAGM SPRING, (NAME BRAND) A NEW FULL CLUTCH FRICTION DISC TO REPLACE THE HALF DISC, AND A BRAND NEW, GENUINE YAMAHA REPLACEMENT CLUTCH COVER GASKET.

To answer your question on the Barnett setup, yes it is a good kit but more expensive than the Skydoc_17 setup...

Barnett setup is high quality and stronger system than the OEM spring setup. I used to go through clutch springs about every 30k miles. The stronger VMax spring helped, but not much. Barnett upgrade has lasted about 50k and is still going strong. Worth the money in my opinion.

I've been running a the Skydock heavy duty diaphragm spring on both the RS Venture as well as a reasonably stock Road Star Warrior, now my buddies heavily modified Road Star Warrior eats diaphragm springs and we were forced to go with the Barnett kit with Heavy Duty springs.
