Is anyone using something other than the Hinson? I know Hinson is the best but I see Wiseco, Barnett, Moose and Magnum so I was curious to see if it's Hinson or bust. I also noticed that they don't come with the gear installed. Is that difficult to get swapped over? Thanks.

I run the magnum and it's just as good as barrnet just no paying for the name. As far as the gear you will have to drill out the rivots holding it onto the stock basket and take the rubber blocks and attach it all to the new basket

Thanks for the info. Probably go with a PE and see how it turns out.

I used to do Hinson until the baskets with stainless steel inserts came on the market. These inserts will never wear out like the rest. Barnett is what I'm going with from now on. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Barnett-Billet-Clutch-Basket-Honda-ATC250R-85-86-TRX250R-86-89-/291263171069?pt=Motors_ATV_Parts_Accessories&hash=item43d0a349fd&vxp=mtr

Wow I really like that. Could give us 2-strokers a little more rotating mass for smoother power as well.

I agree ^^^^. This will be my next basket also. I don't think that the Hinson are really all that strong. I do think they were the strongest available back when people first started racing R's.

Speaking of baskets, how much free play (wiggle) is "normal" to expect on the basket after the clutch plates are removed?

Do the steel inserts wear at all on the fiber engagement ears?

I don't believe the ears have fiber on them. That part of the disk (tabs) are bare aluminum.

My wording wasn't clear. I meant the ears on the "fibers" meaning the clutch fiber plates, not that the ears themselves are fiber.

The aluminum of the basket gives way to the steel clutch fibers, so changing that material to a potentially harder one could have some effect on the clutch fiber engagement area. If I were to guess, I'd say it would be negligable because of the amount of oil in that area, but was curious if anyone had taken any measurements and made an observation maybe.
