So sayeth the Rubwhore so sayeth the flock! LMAO It all comes down to personal preference. Get what you like and don't worry about it.

Ok here are the bad points of Baker and why I went the route I did
The plate is 2 piece on a Baker versus I solid billrt plate on a karata
You can see the ring gear on a Baker so it shows a rusty gear starter totally hidden on a Karata
The number one reason I didnt do it was this forum do a search for Baker clutch`s countless problems

Hey Rub, what was the total cost of your set up. Installed, labor, everything? Thanks.

I bought it used on here from Showtime, wasnt any labor but all done with a new belt and remember I got the big clutch I had 2300 in it, I could have got a new Baker after a little research for about 1900 on ebay but after I heard the Karata video on here I was sold..labor shouldnt be much as you can install one in about 4 hours start to finish

Thanks Rub, appreciate the info. If I go with one, I kind of like the Karata.
The only thing I don't like about the Karata is the bearing support/cover plates that they offer, or at least show on their site.
There is another manufacturer that had a cover that I think they called ProStreet, looked awesome. Thanks again.

Hey 05ridgeback, is that bearing support/cover plate a Karata? I didn't see that one on their site.

 

[RubWhore]

That bearing support looks just like the one trainguy has and it is a Karata

Huh, I wonder why it's not shown on there site? What they show on their site is a pretty limited selection to me, don't really like anything they are showing. Maybe trainguy will post up.

This is pretty similar to the primary cover I'm talking about.
