EBC v OEM

What's everyones opinions of using EBC clutch parts rather than OEM? My R1 clutch appears to be slipping and I was quoted almost twice the price for genuine rather than EBC!

Could be wrong, but thought that EBC & Barnett parts were uprated from the OEM bits. And cheaper





I'm sure I've got one, just don't know where I've put it

Ive now got the EBC kevlar clutch friction plates in my blade because of the same reasons (£55 against £120!). I don't use their springs as they have/had a reputation of being made from chocolate and worse than stock, so went for some uprated Barnett springs which are certainly better than stock (was getting a bit of slip with new OEM springs but none at all with Barnetts).

No springs on R1s though unfortunately (unless you go for the £100+ Barnett upgrade kit ).
