Default Best place to purchase clutch parts

47 k and don't know if it has ever been replaced so I think I felt it slip last night and want to replace before it goes too far.
Where have you guys found the best combination of price, service and availability of the parts. Have you gone with the oem or used after market and would you do the same again?
Thanks for your time.

As Sprock says, go with EBC. If you don't need the steel plates, Bike Bandit has the friction plates and springs for $127.
I've never had to change the steel plates in any of my bikes.
The ebay price is pretty good. BB wants $203 for the same kit

On my dirt bikes, oem honda has always been the best way to go, price/quality.Do u think the EBC parts are superior to the oem?

As good as Tom ............imo EBC are quality products.

Me I'd do the whole kit , sometimes the steel plates get chewed up and warped too.

Thanks for all the input, I purchased the complete EBC kit SRK4 from Powersport superstore.com $161.69 including shipping.
Not knowing wither the clutch had ever changed or how much of it, I just decided to change it all and know what I have.
