Have you looked at a Magnum? I bought one for my 97 CR, but haven't put it in yet..looks similar to the Hinson, but cheaper (sorry, don't remember, but it was much less).
I'm in the same situation with my 2001 YZ250. My bike pulls briefly, but then stops pulling when reved high. Not sure if it's the plates, pressure plate, or what, but I'm looking at replacing with Hinson products.
I saw an ad in the recent MXA magazine for Hinson baskets priced at $199.
Not sure of the company but I'll check and report back.
I personally wouldn't get the performance engineering. A friend of mine tried two of them and the taped screw kept spinning. Got his money back and bought a Hinson.
