Why are you changing to a slipper? I mean I know why they are a good thing to have at the track, but why would you switch? I had a slipper on my race bike, and they are nice. But for the street..... Sorry I'm not trying to flame you. I am just wondering why?Any reason to change out the clutch plates...kit says to use the org. ones...
change the 5th/6th gear ratio to get more top end ?
Thx!

Also on the clutch plates the only reason I would change would be if yours aren't in the best shape.

Yeah if your going to be riding in the canyons, it's a good idea. And $600 is cheap issurance so the rear doesn't hope and come out from under you. Goodluck with the mod and get some pics.

Wet slip
I have the yoyodyne wet slipper ($850 + install). I used my stock pressure plates. I like it alot and think it would be a good mod. for a canyon rider.
Re: the 5th/6th gear change question -- I do not think you can change gearing without replacing the entire transmission shaft. You could change the chain sprockets (1+ front?) to get more top end.
