This could lead onto other parts we need for are Bridgestone like clutch cables or carb covers mud guards front and rear.
Or a new side stand, like i said before lets get this going for are Bridgestone motorcycles!!
Thanks.
Steve.

BS Friends:

Update on clutch plates.

Time is running down on the 350 clutch plate project.
The end of May is a firm date as to whether or not this project goes forward.

It's not a deadline set by our personal feelings, it is set as we have to let our
supplier to whom have invested their engineering and computer set up time in
order to come up with firm production pricing. They deserve to have our answer.
We will not ask them to go through the process again in the future,  
The company does work for us now and we  will not risk getting the reputation as
customers who do not go through with projects.

In a nut shell:  To be blunt and honest Ray and I will not attempt this project again the
future, it will be up to someone else.

On the positive side: We are over half way to seeing the project completed!  ;D
We do hope this project is completed, for the future of the Bridgestone 350.  
As clutch plates are really hard to locate now,  in a few years they will be even
harder to find. Perhaps even limiting the desirability of the bike itself, because you
can not ride a pretty Bridgestone 350 without clutch plates!

Ray and I want to thank the guys who have committed to this project so far, It
can not be done without you!

If anyone else wants to get in on this project.  Please let everyone know.

Richard and Ray

O.K. add me to the list, one set please.

I'm wondering will this be a standard fitting that will work for all clutches, six inner plates and seven friction plates?

What about clutches that have the aluminium spacer, will this be discarded in favor of the above?

I posted the info about this thread over on the Yahoo Bridgestone Group in case there are some BS owners that don't follow this forum.  I'll sign up before the end of the month, I just haven't decided how many yet.  ???

Edit: also posted on the North American Two-Stroke forum.

Suggestion:

How about putting an ad on Craigslist in the 'cycle section with a link to this project? Each city in the U.S has a separate listing, so members in their city could post the link, and possibly bring in more potential buyers/members?

Please excuse me for being a new guy and an engineer; I am assuming the re-manufactured clutch plates will be in accordance with pg. 74 of the 350 service manual? If so please put me down for two sets.

I think that's a great idea. How about this (critique please):

Ad Title: Bridgestone 350 GTR/GTO Clutch Plates Complete Set  -  $220
Looking for Bridgestone 350 motorcycle owners that need new clutch plates - there is a project underway to manufacture new Bridgestone 350 GTR/GTO Clutch Plate sets.  These plates are not available yet.  There needs to be a commitment from enough people to insure a minimum run of 100 sets. If you are interested in purchasing a set for your 350 for future use, please see details at http://bridgestonemotorcycleparts.com/index.php?topic=3049.0.  The cost will be $220 plus shipping and tax if applicable. Response is required by May 31, 2013 for this project to be viable.

I would change the ad to read remanufactured instead of new.

I like the way Karl's potential ad for craigslist reads. I think I'll (with his permission) go ahead and copy/paste it to my local craigslist.
