One problem with calling ERA might be that they would lean toward a good solution that is "adequate" without getting carried away. That may be fine for you, not for me! Having gone through a few clutches I was ready to do this one with the best holding reasonable on the street setup I could get my hands on.

I doubt ERA would recommend a double puck type clutch disc because of it's potential to chatter when used on the street. Brent also expressed some concern in that regard. True, at times, when conditions are just right, I can get a little chatter. 90% of the time I don't. I prefer the peace of mind that the clutch gives me, so it's the best call for me. I don't expect to have to replace THIS clutch anytime soon.

Now if I recall, the disc Brent recommended (and I'm running) was 10" vs my existing 11". I was concerned about going to a SMALLER disc, but size isn't everything. The type of friction material is the key. Some VERY aggressive clutch discs are quite small.
