As I am sure you’re aware, any mix of Alloy and Steel is never going to end particularly well for the softer metal and is generally not mixed in clutches for that reason.

So the combination you have there is certainly not original.

I know there are lots of advocates for the lighter alloy plates and baskets as are there for the various other aftermarket clutches available but as my original steel basket and plates combination had done almost 30k (the friction material was actually still within spec and if you go by Ducati’s plate to basket clearances you’d be swapping parts every year) I went for genuine parts knowing they would last a reasonable time and just as importantly they’d fit as they should without having to worry about swapping parts to get the stack height correct.
