    I posted up a link the other day for barnett springs...they are cheaper than the vesrah and last longer.

    as for long lasting...you can't beat honda fibers.

    oem fibers...barnett springs...best combo.

    yea i know oem will last longer, but it's not hard to do a clutch job. if your up on your maintenance as you should ne the versah will last ya quite a few years before needing change out. at a total of $45 shipepd for the clutches and springs, it's not a biggie to me. honda oems are like $95 for the clutch set alone shipped then the springs.

    ^ Well...... MANY of us are still working on the stock 20YO and older OEM clutches.

    Aside from those, I run only Barnett or OEM in my motors. I had a new Vesrah clutch in one machine and in the summer when it was hot, it slipped like crazy.... Adjustment did nothing.....

    Maybe it isn't a hard repair, but if 30$ more buys me 20 years, is it worth fking around with "MAYBE??"

    Not to me..... Use what lasts and WORKS!! OEM RULES!!
