Took it for it's 1st MOT test. When I bought it I thought I was taking a risk and the novelty would soon wear off and it would've been a mistake. Wrong, still like it.

Very nice! It looks like an RE version of the latest Triumph Thruxtron.

awesome
How are the old style tires on the road

Upgraded the clutch with some new heavy duty clutch plates as the mighty fireball made the clutch slip occasionally, at least I thought so. Than I discovered that a couple of the stock clutch plates were assembled without the steel plate in between and some steel plates were stuffed at the end of the stack.   

Also installed the Carberry plate, going to see tomorrow what it does.

I don't know, Hitchcock's have it. 90222 is probably HMC's part code.

Carberry plate seems to be doing something; at around 4000rpm the bike is as good as vib. free. Most likely since it filters the higher frequency vibs. only (resulting from the bending of the crank) this will be easier noticed on the GT as it has relatively stiff clip'ons compered to the G5's. It can be felt in the footpegs too. Didn't notice much change at other rpm's.

Ignored it due to typical Scottish weather. However, a couple of days ago I fitted my short reverse cone megaphone. Really happy with it, quite unobtrusive at idle and on a steady throttle but sounds lovely under load.

New chain. oe chain was still fine, I'd only had to adjust it once in 8500 miles but after my primary chain starting to break up, coupled with thinking that a gold chain would be nice, that's what I did.

And the EBC plates still slip above 5000rpm...

Going to need to throw some stronger springs in the clutch too.

[Guaire]

The need for stronger springs on a clutch kit is not unusual.
  Some years ago on the Yahoo Radian (Yamaha YX600) group we would buy a kit. Derek Capito of MotoLab sold Barnett components, disks and springs with washers for even better holding power.

I like the sound of that cause that means the engine makes so much torque.

[Arschloch]

I like the sound of that cause that means the engine makes so much torque.

For some reason which I don't understand yet this must be rev., hp, or vib. related, the torque is higher or same at 4250rpm already and it doesn't slip there at all. It also stopps slipping when the oil is really hot. 

Experience beats theory I guess this time again.

[Bert Remington]

I suggest you choose a clutch-friendly oil (ie 4T, JASO MS-2) and then flush twice.  EBC specifically says oil choice matters.
