Just figured i would post my results for anyone looking to do this in the future. My stock clutch was slipping but engagement and progressiveness was nice. The pilot clutch looked ok and flat, the shoes looked ok and nothing looked terribly worn and from what i've read everything seemed to be ok. In retrospect i think it was just that the linings were very very old and the bike had been sitting for a number of years. I made the decision to order a multiplate setup from coventry spares. Build quality was nice, and installation was fairly straightforward at first. However, i discovered that the overall height of the clutch was about 1/4'' more than the stocker and consequently there wasnt enough adjustment for me to get the clutch to release. A call to coventry and John suggested i get a 1/4'' triumph clutch roller which i obtained locally and inserted between the two halves of my clutch pushrod, it gave me enough distance to get the clutch to release. My next issue was that even with all the slack taken out of the clutch cable, and everything adjusted to get the most throw out of the pushrod, i was still getting a pretty crunchy gear change and was having a lot of difficulty finding neutral. With another call to Coventry, John's son (cant remember his name) suggested i get a multiplate clutch adjuster to replace the factory pivot thing that threads from the outsite of the gearbox cover. The new one is flat instead of rounded and consequently gives you a little more throw on the pushrod. The kickstart cover needs to come off as the new one threads in from the inside. With everything adjusted, it works much better, neutral is much easier to find and gear changes no longer crunchy. It is worth noting that i am still at the limit of adjustment in my clutch cable with zero slack. I would suggest to anyone doing this swap that you order the roller and adjuster at the beginning....as i understand it they are not always needed but they are cheap and it will save you some waiting. Hope this helps someone in the future.
