Thumbs up

I have had my stage II for almost a year now and have roughly 9,000 miles on it and I have no complaints what so ever. It has just a little bit of chatter but I love it. The thing grabs and goes! But in retrospect I do not know if the disk that I have is the exception to the rule......

Call Up SPEC and have them switch your Stage II with one of the new stage IIIs. From what I have read and heard they have redesigned the Stage III so that it doesn't chatter and it seems to be exactly what people are looking for in a clutch.

My Stage II hasn't held bupkiss since I got it , I just don't have the $$$ to replace it right now.

I have a stage 2 and it's great. Chatter went away after 300 miles.

Get a McLeod. I haven't heard anything bad about them at all. I have seen WAY too many specs and centerforces snapped in two. McLeod has the street twin (1200 at the wheels, 1200 bucks) and then the dual performance (450 at the wheels, 400 bucks). Both are good clutches.
