What is the difference between cork and paper composite motorcycle clutch friction disks?
I own a 2006 Suzuki C90T (VL 1500). The clutch lever is almost full out when the clutch is fully engaging. It's a hydraulic clutch system so I believe I need to replace the friction disks.
I have a choice between an EBC cork/aluminum kit and a Vesrha paper composite kit. What I need to know is what is the difference is between the two? Which will last longer? I sure as heck don't want to have to replace the clutches every two years.
Barnett also makes a kit for my bike, but I don't know what they use as a medium for their disks. Has anyone had any experience with any of these clutch disks?

Personally, I would go with Barnett. Barnett has been THE standard of the industry for decades. They make extremely strong, durable clutches. They have several different compounds, their standard (not sure exactly what it is), kevlar and carbon fiber friction materials...at least for Harley's. If their clutches can can hold up to 175 ft/lbs of torque from a Harley drag bike, they will definitely hold up on you C90T.
