PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted February 10, 2005 Report Posted February 10, 2005 I'm thinking about adding a new clutch basket to my shee since the stocker is getting pretty worn. I'm caught between the Performance Engineering one for $139 and the Barnett with Stainless inserts for best I could find $250 Is the Barnett worth the money? I could almost buy 2 of the PE ones for the price of the Barnett. Thoughts? Anybody know a better place to get the Barnett that has them in stock? Quote
RNBRAD Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 What about the Hinson? I've heard the Barnett was a little heavier. May be a good thing but what about performance? Anyone else heard this? I know the barnett looks killer, would just hate one of those SS plates coming loose. Quote
Wallrat Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I've got the barnett and it ain't very heavy. Its maybe 1/2 ounce more than stock. Granted this is rotating mass but I figure my lightened flywheel more than makes up for it. Unfortunately its still too soon to tell how it's holding up. But it does have one weekend on it and no grenading. Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted February 11, 2005 Author Report Posted February 11, 2005 What about the Hinson? 321080[/snapback] The Hinson lies between these two prices where I figure might as well get the cheaper one and save money or get the more expensive one and so I get the inserts? I just don't know. I guess I'll get everything else ordered and see how much I feel like paying in the end. Quote
ledofthezep Posted February 11, 2005 Report Posted February 11, 2005 I paid right around 280 for my Hinson from the stealer. I guarantee you can get better deals online, but I was in a crunch. No complaints...but the way I see it, fix it right the 1st time. Quote

I believe i paid $209 Quote
duner Posted February 12, 2005 Report Posted February 12, 2005 I will go with the Hinson next time.I bought the Performance Engineering basket.After summer it was starting to groove out.Doesn't seem to be much harder than stock.Spend the extra $ for the Hinson! Quote
PUSH THE THROTTLE Posted February 12, 2005 Author Report Posted February 12, 2005 I've decided if I get one I'll get the Barnett, I'm still looking for cheaper prices if anybody comes accross some. I looked at Moto-man and all I could find was Hinson and Vortex. Quote
tschoeberl Posted February 13, 2005 Report Posted February 13, 2005 Give Dan @ Patriot Racing a call/email. He is making his own clutch baskets and they look killer. He says that they are holding up better than Barnetts. I think he said that they are going for around $175 for them. Quote
Fasttoy Posted February 13, 2005 Report Posted February 13, 2005 I have a DOLTON basket,Ihave drag raced and played in gravel pits hill climbing for over 2 years,,its just starting to show some wear..I used to go through 2 stock ones a year.. i would say anything but stock you cant loose Quote
wesw Posted February 13, 2005 Report Posted February 13, 2005 i have a hinson basket also my advice it now they are coming out with pressure plates that have a bearing in them to get rid of the rod and ball or something like that. the plates work with only certain baskets. dont know exactly what ones they are, passionre is checking this out for me. i hope hinsons will work cause i smoked my ball and rod last saturday. later Quote
