Do not get the Street twin if you drive in a lot of stop & go traffic and/or if you don't have a 12 bolt and upgraded driveshaft/output shaft, etc.

I have an ST, and it is a HELLUVA clutch, but it is very hard on the rest of the driveline. My output shaft twisted launching on nittos, if that tells you anything...

you will hear mixed stories on spec. i had a spec stg 3 and it was a great clutch for a daily driver.

street twin was also great for daily driving in stop and go traffic

Whatever you do, do not buy a Spec. I am not happy at all with the way that mine chatters.

The funny part was that I was recommended this clutch, and then the person that recommended the clutch to me now says that he does not like Spec either. Go figure.
