It is a shame there don't appear to be any performance clutch shoes available. For my Honda I can get carbon or sintered ones. I didn't go for carbon as I don't race. For 24hp the clutch must be at its limit because the Forza 350 at 29hp has 5 shoes not 3.

How would you rate the Delta Clutch vs the OEM after riding for a bit now?

For my HPE, I feel the OEM clutch is just a few seconds slow on the takeoff to fully engage (believe the white spring preload will solve that) and then around 60 mph, power seems to level out to a crawl takes a while to hit the rev limiter (doing the speed ring upgrade on next tire upgrade) so looking to get more response on the high end as well on the low end.

I'll get back to you on this soonish.

Despite what many people selling them will tell you, a performance clutch has no effect on speed, no matter who makes it. What they do is hold up better to more power, rough treatment, two up, etc. With enough mods, you can get significantly more power out of a scooter engine, and a performance clutch won't break. They are also less likely to judder after you've been riding hard all day and get stuck in stop and go traffic.
