We can also supply clutch basket steel backing plates and rubbers
So how does a billet basket such as Mitaka help. Well obviously if it is made from a harder material, this would be a "good thing". Well Mitaka baskets are made from 7075T6 alloy, the strongest and hardest commercially available material. Specifications of the material can be found on this link :-

The integrity of any manufactured product starts with the material from which it is produced. Mitaka clutch baskets are manufactured from the hardest commercially available Aluminium alloy, 7075 T6. The Tensile Strength of this material and it's hardness are greater than that of Mild Steel. Typical comparison figures for stock basket material, Mild Steel & Mitaka basket material are shown below.
It is noteworthy also that this is a through hardness and is further enhanced by hard anodising.
Slavish copying of the stock item in a higher strength material would negate much of the advantage conferred by the better material. Mitaka baskets take full advantage of the high tensile strength of the extruded, heat treated billets to reduce sections, resulting in lower weights, whilst increasing the strength of this component, the aim of all good racing designs! As an example the current CR250 basket is 30% lighter than the stock item.
Mitaka's C.N.C. manufacturing facility is dedicated to the production of clutch baskets. The full range is stocked and new models can be produced in quantity in days. As of June 1999 more than 40 designs are stocked.
Our commitment to clutch basket production is total and we are able to produce batches of 10 baskets ( or even less ) to special order at no extra cost. A number of baskets have been produced oversize to accept an extra plate.
Mitaka clutch baskets are supplied with socket head screws to simplify fitting. No rivetting is required, so reducing the risk of damage during assembly.
