clutch plate suppliers

Having battled with slipping clutch for many years and having eliminated oil and outside factors such as cable and adjuster, and reading road tests from the seventies that all mention the dreaded slippage, can anyone recommend a good supplier for reliable plates?

Perhaps I might fit plates from a different model? I read an old article recently that suggested the clutch plates from the 450 were less prone to slipping and the chap in the article claimed he was able to do a 'wheelie' once he had fitted them.  I don't know whether this is true.  Also, my CX500 had a very similar clutch which did not slip.

So it looks as though I will have to be unscientific and change two variables at once, i.e., EBC kit for CB450  :)
