Everyone and myself included will tell you OEM frictions and steels. Some people find other manufacturers cluches work okay but others have some real problems.

Not sure about where the best price is, but a place that has a good website with some very useful parts diagrams is Cornwall Kawasaki

I'd steer well clear of EBC clutches, the OEM parts are invariably far superior. EBC clutches frequently cause problems in bikes, let alone BECs.

ZX9R clutches are tough things, I stripped my "C" clutch and found all the plates blue, I put it back together and ordered a new standard set.
Never got round to fitting them, and did over 2000 miles without the clutch slipping

Yup, they seem very strong. Mine were blue like that, I just added Brocks performance R1 springs and run 225bhp and 124ft/lbs of torque with no slipping.
