Big bikes have been banned in Laos, so you won't find any parts there. Thailand shouldn't be a problem.
I've bought EBC plates for a Honda CX500 and they were terrible. Major changes in clutch adjustment (free play) with changes in engine temperature. I've never heard of this problem before, so advise caution. Perhaps better stick with genuine parts.
If you are stuck and need to get going you can either pull the springs to lengthen them or add a washer under each spring.
I'm running a bigger rear sprocket for road use and have a smaller front sprocket for the rough stuff. Standard gearing is too tall on this bike for all but road use.
Are you one of the Aussies I met at the HU meet in Chiang Mai?
Cheers,
Peter.
