Pulled my clutchs today and .........

I have a new set of clutchs coming so today i pulled my old ones and had a look see ...
Inside plates were the most worn at 0.104 to 0.105 that puts them under the service limit...The outer plates were 0.111 to 0.114 .. 0.114 being the best of the bunch...
All and all not bad seeing i have 170 drag strip runs and 2500 miles of street bashing ...
A few of my steels are wrapped but not bad and most likely still useable in a non race bike but i'm replacing them also ...
The reason i'm feel the need for replacement is the clutch has gotten a little grabby when launching at the track, it doesn't feel to be slipping at all in the upper gears ....I'm just not getting the smooth release that i was a few weeks back and my 60 footer are showing the difference... Smokin....
