just acquired this beautiful bike with 17k miles. I've got the maintanance all caught up with tire (new) all fluids, securing harnesess so no chance of rub thru shorts, etc. The Barnett pressure plate solved my clutch issue ! I had NO IDEA they went to a wave plate type of apply spring ! The Barnett replacement is the clutch pressure plate style I always remembered and dealt with. NOW I get to chase a fuel smell ( non cal emissions). It appears that "Joe Bob" modified the exhaust ( 4 open pipes with turn outs) and "re jetted" the carbs "to match", and it is entirely too fat on fuel ( 68 miles on a full tank to fuel light tripping with fuel slosh ) !! I became a Mikuni expert restoring my 1980 Kawasaki 1000 LTD. These carbs look to be built like the Kehien carbs like early hondas used. Never had issues with Kehiens unless "tuned"...LOL
