originals came in two different lengths 1968 is the center of the change
the aftermarket - blue are stronger by 5 to 8 pounds each
the gold are 10 to 12 pounds stronger then the originals
then different pressure plates can change the number in pressures and 3 or 4 different ones exist - some are machined more then others alloy verses plastic type of thing
then you have the aftermarket spring clutches then you have the diaphragm kits < I happen to like the way they work only down side is the handlebar lever travel is reduced
SO it takes a bit to get use to - as you have way too much lever travel before it begins to disengage the clutch -- or you have less lever pull at the handlebar < how its adjusted
it also affects a foot clutch app but the smoothness and neutral that is available - shifting is greatly improved but in my shop we have been using it for years and the guys get use to it
