On the subject of clutch pressure plates ....

Casoli vs DP vs Rizoma

Any real difference or is it just cosmetic?

I'm sort of favouring the DP as it seems cheaper than the Casoli ....

Any useful info would be appreciated

Thanks

You forgot Cyclecat (http://www.cyclecat.com/PP1-1.htm) and STM (http://www.motowheels.com/italian/myProducts.cfm?parentcategoryid=442%7CDucati%20Clu tch%3A&productID=2072&showDetail=1&categoryID=444|Clutch%20Assemblies%20%26%20Parts&vendoridtodisplay=0&filterFor=&collection=165%7CClutch)

The Cyclecat one claims to protect the posts in the event that the right side hits the ground and the STM one comes with covers to hide the manky looking springs. Go for the DP if it's cheaper...

or one of these :cool:
a mate of mine spotted then at Laguna Seca and I may just be tempted to start bringing them over here
;)

Nelly thats one nice pressure plate,

How much are they likely to cost?

[nelly]

about £145 Lee. That's the X factor as to whether I decide to start bringing them over.
They do covers to. They are bomb proof!! Minimum 4mm thick everywhere.
The REAL trick parts are billet water pumps. 10% flow/cooling improvement and also act as a "protector" for the lhs cover should the bike go down.

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo! How much would they cost Nelly?

[Lee1980]

Would buy one for that price from you next year after xmas and maybe the covers to if they are nice to, or will get a new style Dp one.

Want a decent cover and plate for the looks as well as protection after mine broke a post after a 20 mph drop on the right.:(

[nelly]

The pumps?.........about £250.

here's a piccie :cool:

[Lee1980]

That pump looks gorgeous Nelly shame to cover it up on a 748/9** look good on a S4R:D

Price is high but looks like it would offer protection to:D

[nelly]

Here's one of the covers fitted to the bike with the pressure plate to.
I haven't seen a more solid setup from anyone. If the clutch got damaged with those fitted, I guess the rest of the bike would be in a pretty dire state...........

[Lee1980]

Cover looks good to and bullet proof to:lol::lol:

I'll go for the red plate and black cover please:D

[moto748]

Don't usually go for this sort of tart stuff :), but I have to say, that plate and cover do look real good. Beefy, too.

I think I want to have carnal relations with it .....!! How much for the clutch cover? I assume if the pressure plate is 145 GBp the cover is similar?

[nelly]

I think the covers are £20 or so less. I've ordered some pieces for "appraisal" :devil:

I'm also going to take a look at these, but they may well end up on my own bike :devil:;)

Oh, Nelly, you're cruel! Those are some gorgeous bits of machining and the lads on here will have raw tongues from scraping them on the floor! I am just glad they don't fit my bike!:lol:

Nelly, if you need a 996 to try out a pressure plate and cover 'for appraisal' just let me know :D

:frog:

Youll probably find the Casoli one is a rizoma or roadracing item re badged anyway...Good thing with the rizoma one is that it comes with longer caps (included in the price) which means you can get away with not buying the stainless springs.

Rizoma ex Spareshack 75 GBP
Rizoma rebadged Casoli 100 GBP ... not a bad margin increase for a casoli sticker !!!
