Aftermarket Clutch Recommendations?
I noticed recently that my clutch has started engaging right at the end of the pedal travel when releasing it.
Honda service tell me hydraulic clutches generally aren't adjustable and that mine is starting to wear (at only 38,000 Kms).
When the time comes for a replacement I'm thinking something that doesn't wear out so quickly might be the go.
Any recommendations from those who have actually replaced theirs would be welcome.
Maybe a heavier duty clutch but not something that is a 'leg killer' if you know what I mean.

Race Brakes (not that anyone listens to me) will do a reco'd stronger than spec clutch for about $600.
I have the donor clutch here and will send it out to RB. They can then send the reco'd clutch to you and when you get it installed just send the dud one back to me.

IIRC the buzz is caused by loose springs in the clutch. When RB rebuild the clutch do they replace the springs as well as the friction material?
In addition, is it actually the springs that buzz (and therefore need replacing) or is it the spring mounting brackets which allow the springs to be loose and therefore buzz? If the latter, then how would RB "correct" the brackets to prevent buzzing?
