from slipper clutch back to non slipper clutch

When I bought the HM I intended to go to the track with it. I changed my mind and used a 848 instead. I kept the HM for road riding instead. I installed from the dealership a Motocorse slipper clutch system. I am doing a lot of city ride mainly and I am not really using the "slipping" system. Instead I have to have a lot of maintenance on it, as I have this hard sliipping noise (cannot describe in words) everytime I take off at a traffic light.Liek a drag. I did clean the pack a couple of time but after a couple of rides it comes back. I want to switch back to regular clutch.
I narrow my research on Surflex Plates but I have a few questions for those who made the same conversion:
- do I need a basket? If yes any recommendation?
- Do I need a new pressure plate or can I use the one I have right now on the slipper? If I need a new one, any recommendation?
- I will change the springs as few of them are rusted.
- anything else?

thanks

You need the internals and the pressure plate, thatīs it. The basket stays as long as your slipper is a conventional 12 teeth item.

If you replace the springs, think about using OEM springs because they have the proper spring rate. Swap all springs, not only a few. It could make the pressure plate wobble, which will kill the bearing sooner or later. Donīt ask me how I found out!
