New clutch slipping at higher RPMs and hard throttle

No reason for that. I replaced my clutch with a complete barnett kit. When i took everything apart figured out real quick the springs were shot. Replaced rings and pads any how. 30,000 plus miles and no issues.
 
I replaced my clutch in the last 60 days and she is slipping more. I noticed that the Barnett steels aren't as thick as the ones I removed. I didn't think much of it at the time. Now frustrated with this i called Barnett about this. Tech guy said that the clutch pack does need to be measured before installing and that sometimes the original steels may need to be used in place of some of their steels to help make up the difference.
I haven't done this yet, but considering I replaced the pressure plate, lifter piece, washers, bearing , springs etc... all should have been well. It does make logical sense, but ****it...you buy a bike specific kit, you'd THINK its a direct fit. So, once I get the motor opened back up again, I'll report back.
