I am not sure if this has been covered before!!
I am starting to get some clutch slip on acceleration.
Is this an easy fix, such as changing the plates?
I believe the longer it is left the more slippage there will be.
Any clues?

Its an easy fix, as long as you don't muck up the clutch cover when you get it off. Soak new plates overnight in engine oil so that they swell up a bit and don't burn out on first use.
Might be worth using HD springs, waht with all the 2 up touring you do

If you keep the bike leaning over on the prop stand 1) its easier to see everything and 2) you won't lose too much oil.
Be careful about getting the cover off. there are a couple of leverage points on it, if you look closely. Don't just go digging ijn with a screwdriver and fcuk up the mating surfaces ( i know you wouldn't, but who know who else might read this)
