I don't question the quality, only the value for money, as my modified Charlie clutch with Barnett plates remains perfect in all respects, for a fraction of the cost. There's such a thing as overkill in engineering, but if it gives you a good feeling, Frank, it's worth it. Me; I'd rather spend that sort of money on another quirky bike but experience shows that's only the start of the financial outlay!

I'm of your mind Nick meaning no insult to those who want that expensive clutch. Beautiful, but not my cuppa until I win the lottery and then maybe not. I have a Nichols basket, Barnett plates and Cyclecat pressure plate and cover on two of my bikes and am very pleased with them.
Cheers,
