We have received a Barnett basket and presently it is being tested and evaluated.

There are definately a lot of oil options out there and we have had the best luck with lighter weight Mobile 1, Rotella and Golden Spectro oils. But don't get tied into one weight for all types of riding as on long rides, especiallly on very hot days, a heavier 20/50 may be the best choice for that day.

The worst clutch abuse we had on a bike was on the bike we provided for Wayne Braybrook in 2006 for the Last Man Standing where he finished second behind David Knight.

He went through 2 sets of fibers and completely smoked the steel plates.

That bike was a WEC bike and had the clutch basket modified where most of the webbing was removed. Once we got the bike back to to the shop we freshend up both the fibers and the metals (as well as a fresh top end) and all was well again. To this day that clutch basket is still hanging in there.
