15 plate clutch? Unless you are Leo (who has thinned the steels to install extra plates in an H1) you are probably referring to a H2. :?

I have a 15 plate clutch in my H1. Best clutch I've ever had and it's a Barnett kit with kevlar friction plates.
You can see the outer friction plate has smaller tabs which would have been under the steel ring on a H2.
I'm using all 5 barnett springs and a ball bearing clutch release.

No drag when warm and I can shift down (and up) when standing still and engine running.

Very nice!
Shift into neutral when stopped (engine running) too? Do you have a part number for the kit?

Sorry, the box is long gone and I can't find the product on Barnett's site.
I bought the clutch in 2005 from an ebay store called CYCLEMANIA POWERSPORTS. The store is still there but it's empty.

Look closely, the outer fiber plate has smaller tabs.
