During the brief time I got to ride Trixie before the layshaft bearing crapped the bed last autumn, the old stock clutch was slipping badly in 3rd and 4th gear.
The new Barnett plates are performing flawlessly yielding a near orgasmic experience at full throttle as the tach needle swings past 5000 RPM.
The audio experience from the open peashooters combined with feedback from the arse dyno is quite exilerating.

So what oil was you running in your primary as I am still running my original plates after 46 years of hard riding, I run only 5 to 7 fl ozs of tranny oil F in my primary and get no slippage at all and my clutch has always been light and I never over fill my gear box to get GB oil in my primary, my Norton has been a everyday rider most of its life.
I have never grown up and still ride my Norton hard, but I do know where I can get away with being a hooligan, just don't do it in my own back yard and away from the suburbs.

Not sure exactly what was on the primary or gearbox when I bought the bike. The bronze plates were glazed.
It now has 7 oz of type F in the primary and just enough Bel Ray 80w gearbox oil in the gearbox to reach the level plug on the outer cover.

Same bike?

Same bike and it still falls off a bit over 5500 RPM. I realize that is about peak torque but it does seem to fall off a bit more than what I am used to. After the weather breaks I'll be able to do some more "testing".
