Post by: nd4speed on December 18, 2008, 05:58:51 PM

Any every use a Talon nickle plated clutch basket?
I bought a Pro-X and everyone says they are junk.

So I bought this Talon for $110.

What do you guys think?

$100 plus $10 shipping so I snatched it up even though I don't need it. I would sell it for $300.

I used to be able to get stuff from Talon at trade prices, if you need one at some point I will see about getting a price for you.

I looked at Talon's website and they no longer list KX500 clutch parts.

Well don't count chickens before the hatch.

The picture is generic and the basket I got was only anodized.

Just another fraudulent ebay auction with a fake description.

They state the picture is not of the actual item, but they said it was nickel plated.

That sucks man!!!!

I've been looking if a 250 or 450 clutch could be used in a 500
by checking part numbers at Kawasaki.
Doesn't look like it, or for 250 clutchcover.
Still it could be in real live. Numbers don't say everything.

Actually I just read that hard anodized is stronger than nickel plating. It was a comparison of baskets Corey Sprock was making and Talon. Even Talons material (alloy) was superior.

I was bummed at first, but it is still a nice basket at the right price.
