Fried Blade Clutch

Anyone know of a strong basket for the 918 blade lump?

Managed to cook mine tonight doin a few quick starts off the lights against a few biker mates. Its all OEM so Im pleased its lasted so long. Orig. basket is scored to sh*t

Also few people Ive read in the past have said uprated springs or stiffer. Is this part of a kit or from another brand?

Im seriously strugglin here. Spending the morning speaking to shops and googlin Ive found Barnett make everything but the basket. I only know moto x brands and cant find hinson or talon either

Anyone else know of a uprated brand?

I'm not aware of anyone changing the basket, stronger springs thats all.
If its knacked replace it, if its only mildly worn dress it up with a file

Do you jmean its fried as in slipping now?
Thats more as likely to be the plates and springs as the basket

Yeh sorry should've worded slipping. In MX you'd normally say fried or cooked prob. wrong wording on here

Ive just ordered a new OEM basket off fleabay £100 and new kevlar barnett plates & discs with their HD springs for another £140

I'll take the basket out and file it back smooth as I can but its been done once so its best kept as a spare that will no doubt never see out of the box i'll put it in again
