I just spent $450 on Suzuki parts alone.

I CAN NOT find an aftermarket company that produces clutches for SRAD's. Nevertheless, I got 31,000 miles out of my OEM clutch so I can't complain. How many miles were on your SRAD before it started slipping?

I HAVE a Barnett so I know they make them and I've seen EBC ones before also.

To answer your question I would go with after market just because your going to save around $100-$200 over OEM

Death,
We bought new fiber plates and clutch cover gasket for Zack's 96' 750 Gixxer last fall. Seemed like it needed them as no amount of adjusting at the lever and/or the upper case helped.
As it turned out -after the purchase, of course- the left side sprocket cover case had developed a crack that was invisible unless the clutch was pulled in and the spirial rotating actuator shaft - the critter under the left side sproket cover that is actuated by the cable- began to move.
Since the bottom of the case is essentially unsupported/open except for casting stiffeners the cracked part of the case would move rather than actuate the clutch push rod.
Long story short, very difficult to alum weld (tig/mig) . So we bought a new case from Suzuki for about $130.00.
Anyhow, we have 10 Suzuki fiber plates in their individual shipping plastic.
Suzuki part number 21442-31E00.
And the clutch case /cover gasket still in the bag.
Suzuki part number 11482-33E01.
If you want to price them and let me know ... I should be able to under cut that price even with shipping.
Let me know if you are interested.
P.S.
I don't have the steel plates... I always inspect before I buy them, if yours are glassy smooth, warped, or discolored you'll have to buy a set.
