Pretty awesome. Unfortunatly, it's another example of a company that got started by making 250r componets. Now, the only thing you can get from them for a 250r is a clutch basket. Look at their website and you'll see all the clutch parts and covers available for all other makes and models

I thought it was interesting at how they pride themselves at having the holes in the fingers for more oil to get inside the clutch pack but on this one they hadn't started doing that yet.

I totally remember the good old days of racing. When Denton switched to Honda's, he dominated. I'm curious though. How do some of these guys destroy clutch baskets so fast. I rode my first 250r's I bought when they came out for miles and miles. Raced it, abused the crap out of them and never destroyed a basket. Went through alot of fibers and steels but no baskets. I wonder why, or if i'm just not abusing a clutch like a pro class or "A" class rider. I've never ridden with preserving the clutch on my mind.
