So, I found a local shop to build a clutch. They said solid hub really didn't make too much difference. What do you think?

It has 6 ceramic buttons per side.

I think it is stainless. It's quite beefy. Weights about the same as the stock sachs disk.

Got it all back together and running good tonight. Clutch is actually pretty well mannered. You only really notice it when you let off the throttle and stomp it again. Wouldn't want to do this too hard!

I am using it with the stock PP.

Did a little 3rd gear launching, I think it will work good while it lasts....

Looks plenty stout, you will break something downstream before you hurt that clutch.
