Default Whats the best Clutch?

My clutch is slipping on me, when I rip on the throttle the bike raps out but doesn't take off like it should. I reajusted my clutch but it is doing it again. Does anyone know of who makes the best clutch? I found a Barrnett performance clutch on Ebay. Is that a good one? Is there a high performance clutch that is better?

I saw a show on Barnett. I was impressed. Do some research and let me know what you find about them. Also do a comparion between them and OEM.

I did some research, the Barrnette uses carbon fiber and kevlar on the plates vs. steel, more power and no slippage, thats where i am going.

The Barnette is 159 on ebay, and the only ones i could find on ebay were all used, at around 125, so i went new.

Barentts are cool! I got mine for 120, springs friction plates, metal plates, but ! I would just stick with the oem! They will last longer! My barrent didnt last long and i put them in in mid december and and rode hard in the hills about 5 6 times! But before you do that check your clutch cable adjustment! How many miles are on your bike? Your cable might be stretched too if you got a lotta miles! Barnetts grip real good! but if you aint doning a lotta track days you might as well stick with oem! The other thing you can get good at is clutchless up shifting! If done right can save you some life on the clutch!

if done correctly...not as bad as you'd think, still not better than clutching but not very bad either.
